Really, I do not have any suggestions, but I've seen some things that I would avoid. 1) Don't do anything to constrict the flow of the river. It will get you, or the guy on the other side. I know of a place where a road was built with the rock fill spilling into a swift moving steam. The road held up just fine, but the river moved over, undercutting the opposite bank and starting a slow three mile long landslide that has never stopped to this day. 2) Don't put anything in that would make the water more turbulent, like car bodies. 3) Take note of the action of the stream at your property, and upstream. Streams have sort of a rhythm to them. They tend to undercut on the outside perimeter of bends. Look at the cutting and deposition of gravel to help predict what will happen. 4) If you notice any signs of slumping, like cracks in the surface of the soil well away from the river, you should have a hydrologist and/or a soil scientist look at your property. 5) Take note of the vegetation on your property. Skunk cabbage and other wet-soil vegetation would be a danger sign.
