Rushing Rivers: Dedicated to Stopping River Destruction

By Rushing Rivers Institute

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 asserts that protecting our world's water is an issue that everyone should be behind. Given the situation of rivers is a result of human actions, it falls on us to correct what has been done. Practices such as overfishing, dams and the overuse are of human error and require human solutions.

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 scientists have also designed the MesoHABSIM model. This adaptation of the PHABSIM model allows for quick assessment of entire fish communities along extensive stretches along the rivers. Using this information, restoration models are constructed for future planning.

Rushing Rivers is also offering courses on the training and applications of this exciting new technology. Professors and students alike will benefit from our introductory sessions as well as the week long intermediate courses that we provide.

Community involvement is crucial to not only the world and its water, but to Rushing Rivers' plan of action. R.R.I. strongly advocates for education and community awareness that starts at the small scale and gradually makes its way worldwide.

This reasoning has lead Rushing Rivers to organize community events and recreational activities focused on inspiring love and appreciation for our waters. Most recently, a canoe trip along the For River was put together by R.R.I. to allow our inquirers a hands-on experience to these pristine bodies of water.

The height of our agenda to convey to the community is the increasing threat of climate change. Consequently, Rivers Climate Action has been initiated to fight both the causes and affects, with a particular emphasis on rivers throughout the world. Through our expertise of rivers and river science, we intend to do our part in preventing the incline of this problem.

If you wish to assist us in our campaign, please visit Rushing Rivers or River Climate Action to read further of our work. Don't forget to inform your family, friends and co-workers. We are a small group and always appreciate word-of-mouth publicity.
