Geomorphic engineering for river restoration design

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

The design of stable channels with mobile bed materials poses complex problems in hydraulic engineering, sedimentation and fluvial geomorphology. In addition, recent requirements to provide a range of aquatic and riparian environments capable of supporting a high biodiversity, recreational activities and possessing good aesthetics presents further challenges to the design engineer. Geomorphic engineering principles and procedures are outlined as a basis for incorporating natural channel variability into the Waterways Experiment Station (WES) river restoration design procedure.
