60 The feasibility of small scale highly engineered habitat enhancement projects should be reconsidered given the dynamic nature of the system. Large scale management is needed. Site sediment deposition and transport capacity should be assessed to ensure appropriate models and methods are used in the site design. Stream flow and infiltration rates need to be studied to determine the duration of pools in channel. Fish surveys and studies need to be conducted to determine how fish use these channels for migration. key lessons learned 58
