Who states “o Healthy, self-sustaining river systems provide important ecological and social goods and services upon which human life depends”?

Wolf & Burgess (1994)
“Increased hydraulic resistance from ELJ’s can reduce downstream peak discharge by as much as 14% in a flood event”

Who defines RR as:
“A means of modifying the flood hydrograph to benefit communities downstream”

Who believes there is difficult deciding which past river state is conducive to improved river form and function, thus deemed to be worth restoring?
Wohl & Merritts (2007)
Who states: “Restoration is also often perceived as a recreation of an equilibrium river state; a dynamic state often incorrectly interpreted as ‘stable’”?
Adams (1997)
“a lack of baseline measurements mean post-restoration river state cannot be compared with that before intervention was carried out”
Who said this?
Dadson et al. (2017)
Who believes that in one area, RR may be effective scientifically, but if the project does not have the support from the community, is it truly successful?
Bujis (2009)
