River Corridor Without Vegetation

In this part of the model the river is shown with no vegetation in the river corridor

Knowing the principles of a healthy "stable" river system gives us hints at how we can help restore unstable rivers. There is not much we can do in urban areas, and moving people and infrastructure out of floodplains is enormously complex and expensive. However, one of the most important actions we can take elsewhere is to accurately map flood prone areas to restrict further development, restore wetlands, plant vegetation along river channels, and create permanent vegetated buffer zones between human activities and water courses.
