Waterway restoration

Waterway restoration is the activity of restoring a canal or river, including special features such as warehouse buildings, locks, boat lifts, and boats. It focuses on creating and restoring habitats for biodiversity, ecological function, and improving quality of life.

In the United Kingdom, Canada, and United States, the focus of waterway restoration is on improving navigability, while in Australia the term may also include improvements to water quality. The primary purpose for waterway restoration is to improve biodiversity loss and create a self-sustaining ecosystem. Waterway restoration information in developing countries is limited.
