Rushing Rivers Institute is a Non-Profit environmental group created to conserve the streams and rivers of our Earth for human and nature alike. R.R.I. Stands out from other organizations based on the nature of which we do our work. We combine years of knowledge in both ecological and physical fields to blaze new trails of water conservation.
Rushing Rivers believes water is an issue that everyone has a stake in. However, the unfortunate status of rivers is a direct result of of human influence and practices. Dams, the overuse of water and excessive overfishing has left the rivers of the world in a situation that needs help.
R.R.I. offers a variety of services to the surrounding community. Our team of river scientists are experts in Instream flow studies, fish and invertebrate habitat assessment, watershed and local scale river restoration planning, ecological feasibility studies of dam removal, nature-like fishway design and analyzing the impact of climate change on rivers and streams
Rushing Rivers team members have also created the MesoHABSIM model. This evolution of the PHABSIM model makes for quick assessment of fish communities in long stretches of rivers. With this technology, models are constructed for future planning and projects.
Rushing Rivers is also offers training sessions on the implementation and use of this fascinating new technology. Both students and teachers will leave our introductory sessions as well as the week long intermediate courses with the knowledge and ability to use this system proficiently and applicably.
It is crucial to have public awareness, not only the world's water, but of Rushing Rivers' plans and goals. R.R.I. very heavily promotes education and community involvement that starts at the town level and eventually makes its way to a global scale.
Because of this philosophy, Rushing Rivers often provides educational, recreation events to the community. The most recent of these was our Fort River Canoe Trip where we inspired appreciation for the area's waterways and educated simultaneously.
The biggest threat facing our world and especially our water is the global warming. Accordingly, Rivers Climate Action was implemented to thwart this ever-growing phenomenon. Through our comprehensive, scientific work on rivers, coupled with our community activism, we hope to promote awareness and solutions to this problem.
Please take the time to visit the Rushing Rivers or River Climate Action websites to educate yourself further on our services and goals. Don't forget to tell your friends and colleagues; we are a small, focused organization and always appreciate any word-of-mouth communication.
