An excavator removing an obstruction from a waterway.
A large excavator and dump truck parked on top of a newly constructed culvert, channeling a stream with improved flow controlled primarily by a restored culvert slope, surface roughness, and tailwater elevation.

A large excavator in the process of notching a dam, a slow method in which an impoundment is drained through notches cut into the dam. New notches are cut in so the water drains out of the reservoir at a consistent flow. The sediment trapped behind the dam flows downstream in a fixed rate that allows the ecosystem to adjust to the changes.
