Rushing Rivers Institute is an Environmental Non-Profit organization designed to protect the world's rivers for both human and natural use. R.R.I. differs from other programs with its ability to fuse its expertise in both ecological and physical sciences into harmonious engineering
Rushing Rivers believes water is everyone's issue, both humans and animals alike. Unfortunately, the dire situation of rivers is a consequence of human behavior. Overfishing, dams and the overuse of water has led the aquatic world into a grim situation.
R.R.I. offers a variety of services to the surrounding community. Our team of river scientists are experts in Instream flow studies, fish and invertebrate habitat assessment, watershed and local scale river restoration planning, ecological feasibility studies of dam removal, nature-like fishway design and analyzing the impact of climate change on rivers and streams
Rushing Rivers team members have also created the MesoHABSIM model. This evolution of the PHABSIM model makes for quick assessment of fish communities in long stretches of rivers. With this technology, models are constructed for future planning and projects.
Rushing Rivers is also offers training sessions on the implementation and use of this fascinating new technology. Both students and teachers will leave our introductory sessions as well as the week long intermediate courses with the knowledge and ability to use this system proficiently and applicably.
It is crucial to have public awareness, not only the world's water, but of Rushing Rivers' plans and goals. R.R.I. very heavily promotes education and community involvement that starts at the town level and eventually makes its way to a global scale.
This philosophy leads Rushing Rivers to reach out to the community and inspire recreational events focused on teaching our fellow citizens. Recently in May of 2008, a Fort River Canoe Trip was sponsored where appreciation was inspired for the area's waterways and the participants learned of its threats at the same time.
The most important of issues to convey to our communities is the increasingly problematic trend of global warming. As a result, Rivers Climate Action has been established to combat its causes and affects on rivers world-wide. Through our knowledge of rivers and river science, we hope to do our part in slowing (and possibly stopping) this problem.
If you wish to further read up on the issue, or choose to help us in our goals, please visit our Rushing Rivers or River Climate Action websites to gain futher information. Please tell your friends family and associates; we are a small, concerted organization and always appreciate any word-of-mouth communication. - 16928
