TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATIONS

Synonymous with Recovery:
“The act of restoration to an improved or former condition.” (NRC, 1992) Sear (1994) explores various definition of restoration and related terms including recovery but I offer it as a choice for a definition of restoration because people often refer to projects as restoration projects that are essentially what is defined above.
Reference(s): Sear, D. A. (1994). River Restoration and Geomorphology. Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 4(2), 169-177.
