The goal wasn't to control the river.
The goal was to reconnect it.
Last year, our crews helped restore natural floodplain function at Braul Marsh near Golden, BC for Ducks Unlimited Canada by breaching existing dikes and reconnecting the marsh to the Columbia River.
Now, as runoff and high water move through the valley, the restoration is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Sometimes the best engineering is knowing when to let nature take over.
