Specifically, the guidance and tools provide support in assessing the current conditions adjacent to a stream crossing and in the upstream watershed to determine design effort, performing the appropriate hydrological and geomorphic analysis using a set of analytical and analog tools, and designing the channel through the stream crossing for stability and sediment balance.In addition to the report, users can download the contractor\u2019s final report; the spreadsheet-based Capacity Supply Ratio Stable Channel Design Tool (CSR Tool) for computing analytical channel designs that account for the full spectrum of sediment transporting events; an example of the CSR Tool being used on a sand bed stream (Big Raccoon); and an example of the CSR Tool being used on a gravel\/cobble bed stream (Red River).Disclaimer - This software is offered as is, without warranty or promise of support of any kind either expressed or implied.
