Abstract
Problems of riverine rehabilitation face many nations which are, at the same time, undergoing rapid economic and political transition. Very bad conditions have accumulated over many years, but budgets are very tightly constrained. Thus it is important to design rehabilitation strategies that will produce the greatest improvement per unit of expenditure. This raises the question of what one may mean by “greatest improvement.” This will be addressed in later sections of this paper.
