From page 20...
... Most of the essential elements of such a research program are described in the White Paper. Immediate attention should be given to the development of alternative conceptual models of the formation and maintenance of the ridge and slough landscape, and the most compelling models should be used to develop research hypotheses and questions that can be used to guide the design of a research program.

From page 21...
... This measure will depend heavily on detailed and highly precise topographic information in the landscape. Given the potential role of flow in landscape maintenance, restoration efforts should attempt to incorporate flows approximating historical discharges, velocities (speed and direction)
