Over the past 30 years, well designed and built river wave projects have been repeatedly proven to do the following:

​

• provide a great cultural resource for the community and a natural gathering place

• provide substantial positive economic benefits

• have no impact on flood risk

• have positive environmental impact on fish and animal habitats

• provides a low impact, low cost barrier and low risk athletic resource for people of all ages

• waves are adjustable making them usable by a wide variety of users including kayakers, surfers, SUPers, body boarders, body surfers and more

• provides a great way to educate people on river safety and river ecosystems

• make the wave users and spectators happier and spread that happiness into other parts of their lives

• have little to no ongoing operating and maintenance costs

• makes users and spectators much more aware of and connected to the river ecosystem and the importance of keeping rivers healthy
