Restoration of Missouri River (USA)
Missouri River, a largest and the longest river in North America, has been widely modified over these 150 years.
However, as the American people grew aware of the environmental ethics, they came to focus on the deterioration of the major rivers in the country, and to reexamine the river management priority. As a result, some national laws and state laws were established, and many measures to support restoring a number of major rivers in America were provided. For Missouri River, based on the Missouri River Mitigation Act (an act of compensation for environmental destruction), a project was implemented, which restored the wetland and the riverside forests, changed the banks and weirs, and reunited the “chutes” (water channels for high water) with the mainstream.
