The past activities of flood control, drainage improvement, emergency flood relief, vegetative conversions, straightening, levees, dredging, clearing vegetation, grubbing streamside zones, and other related "river engineering" works have caused major instability and sediment problems. This assessment addresses the potential risk of such works.
