- W2491391933 abstract "Geomorphology is the study of landforms and the processes responsible for making and modifying them. Fluvial geomorphology is the study of landforms whose genesis and evolution are affected by flowing water. A river or stream constitutes a geomorphic system and in working on a natural watercourse the complete system must be considered because, even though a project may directly involve only a small portion of the system, it has the potential to trigger morphological responses in any part of the system. It is impossible to predict the types and locations of morphological responses without a good understanding of the fluvial system, and this demands thorough knowledge of the water and sediment regimes of the river, because the water discharge and associated sediment load drive morphological processes in the system. Water and sediment regimes in rivers derive from the natural climatic, geologic, topographic, and biologic characteristics of the watershed, together with land use and water resource management effects in developed watersheds. It is these watershed attributes and activities that control runoff and sediment sources, the magnitude and distribution of flows, the caliber and type of sediment, and the manner in which water and sediment are supplied to the channel network. In turn, interaction of the flow and sediment load with the materials forming the bed and banks of the channel dictate the three-dimensional morphology of the alluvial channel and its propensity for stability or change (Schumm 1977). The purpose of this chapter is to present an overview of some basic concepts of fluvial geomorphology and river mechanics, with an emphasis on their application to engineering design of channel rehabilitation projects. In this chapter, “channel rehabilitation” is used in a broad sense that encompasses all aspects of channel modification to achieve a desired channel improvement, whether for river restoration, flood control, navigation, water supply, channel stability, sediment control, or other beneficial use. Regardless of the goals of the rehabilitation project, sound understanding of geomorphic processes and forms in fluvial systems is essential to successful performance of channel rehabilitation projects." @default.
