Purpose: to generalize the current experience in development of a design stepped spur, tested by past floods on rivers Buffeljags, Duiwenhoks and Hex Western Cape province Republic South Africa, propose protective structure against debris loading (carchehod), which is aimed at unhindered water flow movement capture all drifting trees their parts. Materials methods. Numerous bank protection stru...

The Sabine–Neches Waterway (SNWW) is home to the largest commercial port of United States military and refineries that produce 60% nation’s jet fuel. deposited sediments from bank erosion due wake wash result in frequent dredging keep waterway operational. This study investigates vessel-generated waves their impacts on erosion. Surface wave data at Golden Pass City Port Arthur Park dock were me...

The objective of this study was to assess the performance form-based and process-based models, local-scale reach-scale used examine bank retreat sediment transport in stream restoration. evaluated models were Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI), Assessment for Nonpoint Source Consequences Sediment (BANCS), Stability Toe Model (BSTEM), HEC River Analysis System (HEC-RAS 1D). Model-to-model assessme...

Numerical morphological modeling of braided rivers, using a physics-based approach, is increasingly used as a technique to explore controls on river pattern and, from an applied perspective, to simulate the impact of channel modifications. This paper assesses a depth-averaged nonuniform sediment model (Delft3D) to predict the morphodynamics of a 2.5 km long reach of the braided Rees River, New ...

River Res Applic. 2017;1–13. Abstract The transport of water and sediment from rivers to adjacent floodplains helps generate complex floodplain, wetland, and riparian ecosystems. However, riverside levees restrict lateral connectivity of water and sediment during flood pulses, making the re‐introduction of floodplain hydrogeomorphic processes through intentional levee breaching and removal an e...
