Ecodevelopment of pristine rivers and sustainable redevelopment of degraded rivers is intended to result in more harmonious and productive human/nature ecosystems. Conventional environmental and resource sciences in their present states are poorly suited for this challenge. A more appropriate scientific approach to river rehabilitation may emerge from a synthesis of recent work on historical ecology, ecosystem development and empirical generalizations from comparative studies of river ecosystems. Here we take an ecosystem approach with a focus on self-organizing ecosystem properties that lead to the production of highly valued products and features.
