The strip of vegetation along a waterway is called the riparian zone. A stream and its riparian zone are really a single entity.
The riparian zone protects the structure of the stream, maintains water quality, and provides food and shelter for animals and insects. It's as important to the river as the water itself.
Over time a river or stream will occupy different paths, moving like a wave pattern travelling down a valley. Periodic floods deposit rich sediments--fertile soil for the vegetation that supports the stream.
This video shows that protecting a stream or restoring a river requires preservation of this vital green zone.
The DVD version of this program is recorded on DVD-R which is not compatible with some older DVD players. See the new DVD page for more details.
