Abstract
The federal Highway Administration document "Highways in the River Environment Hydraulic and Environmental Design Considerations" was published in 1975. It has proven to be a singularly authoritative document for the design of highway associated hydraulic structures in moveable boundary waterways. This revised document incorporates many technological advances that have been made in this discipline since 1975. Hydraulic problems at stream crossings are described in detail and the hydraulic principles of rigid and moveable boundary channels are discussed.
