Principle and Consequences

Stream habitat is a dynamic system therefore your planning process should be a dynamic process as well (Best Practice)

-Consequences: I chose this as one of my key principles because as a manager it should be your responsibility to view the stream ecosystem as a dynamic system, and if this is not followed using a dynamic planning process then all the efforts that are put into a project could potentially be rendered useless. For example. if a manager were to look at a stream at a certain point in time and were to base all his plans off of this static point in time this could have dramatic outcomes. This point in time could be a low flow or a peak flow, or the use or growing urban area around a stream could be ever changing. If a manager were to place in-stream structures that would be allowable for the low flow, but could not handle the peak flows, they could fail and leave the whole project useless and time wasted.
