Abstract
This paper describes a geomorphic channel design proposed for a six mile tidally influenced reach of the Napa River. The design includes restoration of historic estuarine marshland and alluvial floodplain features to achieve 100-year flood damage mitigation objectives for the city of Napa and to allow for continued navigation use. The design demonstrates the compatibility of ecologic restoration and flood damage mitigation objectives when they are given equal weight in the design process.
