 World Rivers Review, December 1996
Douglas Shields is an expert on river and stream restoration and a research hydraulic engineer at the US Department of Agriculture's National Sedimentation Laboratory.

Much evidence suggests that costs for maintaining the navigation channel in the river were increased by the accelerated erosion and sedimentation that followed the cutoffs.
