Abstract
A combined engineering/biological effort between several state and federal agencies resulted in restoration or environmental enhancement measures in three secondary channels of the Middle Mississippi River. The effort was achieved using micro modeling, a micro scale, physical sediment transport modeling methodology. This paper will outline the history of this environmental effort and describe the results of both model testing and recent construction implementation in the Mississippi River.
