Abstract/Summary:
This report outlines the ecological engineering aspects of restoring wetlands functions within the ecosystem, including: evaluation, goals, communication, design, environment, social use, public use, economy, regulations, engineering, implementation, monitoring, and landscape consideration. Case studies are presented in terms of wetland type, problem identification, solutions and measures, and lessons learned. Some of the case studies deal specifically with modeling related to wetland restoration, with indications of models used and their advantages/disadvantages.
