505 8 |a Premise 5: Changing waters and a changing society call for better assessmentPremise 6: Biological monitoring detects biological changes caused by humans -- Premise 7: Ecological risk assessment and risk management depend on biological monitoring -- Section III: Multimetric Indexes Convey Biological Information -- Premise 8: Understanding biological -- Premise 9: Only a few biological attributes provide reliable signals about biological condition -- Premise 10: Graphs reveal biological responses to human influence 
505 8 |a Premise 11: Similar biological attributes are reliable indicators in diverse circumstancesPremise 12: Tracking complex systems requires a measure that integrates multiple factors -- Premise 13: Multimetric biological indexes incorporate levels from individuals to landscapes -- Premise 14: Metrics are selected to yield relevant biological information at reasonable cost -- Premise 15: Multimetric indexes are built from proven metrics and a scoring system -- Premise 16: The statistical properties of multimetric indexes are known 
505 8 |a Premise 17: Multimetric indexes reflect biological responses to human activitiesPremise 18: How biology and statistics are used is more important than taxon -- Premise 19: Sampling protocols are well defined for fishes and invertebrates -- Premise 20: The precision of sampling protocols can be estimated by evaluating the components of variance -- Premise 21: Multimetric indexes are biologically meaningful -- Premise 22: Multimetric protocols can work in environments other than streams -- Section IV: For a Robust Multimetric Index, Avoid Common Pitfalls 
505 8 |a Premise 23: Properly classifying sites is keyPremise 24: Avoid focusing primarily on species -- Premise 25: Measuring the wrong things sidetracks biological monitoring -- Premise 26: Field work is more valuable than geographic information systems -- Premise 27: Sampling everything is not the goal -- Premise 28: Putting probability-based sampling before defining metrics is a mistake -- Premise 29: Counting 100-individual subsamples yields too few date for multimetric assessment -- Premise 30: Avoid thinking in regulatory dichotomies

Restoring Life in Running Waters discusses freshwater ecosystems in the United States and the need for using biology to understand their present condition. Restoring Life in Running Waters provides practical and effective tools for scientists, managers, and anyone working to protect and restore the nation's waters.
