PEER REVIEW

• I don't know if I would put how stream restoration differs from other fields in the introduction, especially since you don't mention it later in your article. However, if you do keep that part, there would need to be references for both bullets.
• Since you provide all the alternate wordings for stream restoration in the introduction sentence, I would only use "stream restoration" in your later paragraphs.
• I would insert a wiki link to "riparian" the first time you use it.
• "realized" est un peu du francicisme ici! I'd say "completed" instead.
• " more active intervention, such as installation"
• "Recent studies suggest that navigation locks have a potential to be operated as vertical slot fishways to provide increased access for a range of biota, including poor swimmers" -- This sentence is a little confusing and may require a little more explanation/context.
• "Stream restoration projects normally begin with"
• "This preliminary assessment helps with understanding the stream dynamics"
• "cause of the observed degradation"
• "modification of the channel" --> maybe say "modification of stream channels"
• "enhanced fish habitat and abundance"
• typo in "including the United States Environmental Protection AgencyU"
• "Form-based restoration projects can be carried out at various scales, including the reach scale." What's reach scale?
• Alterations may include channel shape (in terms of sinuosity and meander characteristics) and cross-section and channel profile (slope along the channel bed)."
• "Contrary to form-based restoration"
• Remove apostrophe in "mid-1990's"
• "insuremadequate conditions ation". Typos.
• "while limiting impacts on human infrastructure is"
• "should be determined by the stream's hydrology and geomorphology"
• Good work!

—— Nice expansion! I like the inclusion of different types of restoration methods!

some of my suggestions:

"called river reclamation in the UK" - i know you didn't write this section, but it feels like it needs a citation... maybe in the talk page of the article or it's history you can see who added it and get them to cite it?

"(such as sediment transit" perhaps replace transit with transport?

the section that begins "Improved river health..." could maybe be a section called "benefits of stream restoration" as it doesn't really fit with the introduction of the subject

"Stream restoration differs from:..." this section is awkward, and feels like it should either be removed or added to a disambiguation page - look at this for a how-to/more info on adding a disambiguation: Help:Disambiguation

If using a definition section, the introduction should be different - i.e. not repeating the definition in the intro page. I do see you have to finalize the intro, so just something to keep in mind when finalizing :)

"Whereas the former focuses on the restoration of "forms" " try to use a bit more explicit language, it'd better to be repetitive and explicit, than ambiguous

"Installation of in-stream structures" - if you can find some images for each of these, and insert them next to each type of structure, perhaps even in a single column table with the images right aligned, it would be neat and provide nice visuals! image help can be found here Help:How to use images

"lateral connectivity (between the stream and its floodplain), longitudinal connectivity (along the stream)" remove the "()" its good to be explicit!

"although impacts on fish communities are not always easy to assess." - maybe say "are difficult to assess"

"Ensuring a minimum width for the stream corridor" - maybe trim this section title down a bit, and remove the active action from the title "Ensure minimum stream corridor width"

"...within which the stream should be allowed to migrate freely." - " within which the stream can migrate freely" would be better, be affirmative that this is what the method suggests, from my understanding it's about defining an area that is available for stream migration, not defining an area that should be available for stream migration.

"This concept has been developed and adapted in various countries..." - add the citations directly to what they are referencing rather than at the end of the sentence . it'll help as the citations are direct quotes in some cases.

"In addition to the aforementioned restoration approaches and methods, additional measures can be implemented" - be explicit and name the aforementioned methods, or remove the reference altogether, starting the section with "Additional measures can be implemented..."

"Effectiveness of restoration projects" and "Information resources"look like they'll be great sections! maybe rename the last one to "Informational resources"?

Overall, it looks like you really enhanced this article and brought a lot to it! great job! Milesbd (talk) 16:36, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
