another aspect of the rock stacking is that the stones used to stack are often smooth riverbed stones, which when removed cause the flowing water to erode the riverbed at an increased rate, which has multiple knock-on effects that damage the environment in various and unpredictable ways (increased silt downstream, changes to oxygen levels, etc). it's incredibly harmful to the river's ecosystem.
