Lateral movement, or migration, of stream channels can threaten infrastructure and communities, while at the same time sustain floodplain health. Both the costs to human communities and the ecological benefits of migrating streams call for the identification and incorporation of migrating streams into resource management decisions. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) has developed the The Channel Migration Potential (CHAMP) GIS layer to assess channel migration potential.
