A number of rivers across the United States are now being successfully managed for a broad range of objectives. The eight case studies in this report illustrate innovative and successful strategies for multi-objective river corridor planning and management. Rivers throughout the country were chosen to represent a variety of physiographic and climatic zones and include both urban and rural communities. Key information about each project is described, including a summary of important planning and implementation aspects, a description of innovative design and technical solutions with illustrations, and a discussion of institutional arrangements and successful partnerships.
