Riverbank filtration schemes form a significant component of public water treatment processes on a global level. Understanding the resilience and water quality recovery of these systems following severe flooding is critical for effective water resources management under potential future climate change. This paper assesses the impact of floodplain inundation on the water quality of a shallow aqu...

Abstract Riverbank is a buffer zone for the river ecosystem and surrounding land. The significant land use changes cover reduction in Merawu Watershed had put pressure on riverbank threatened protection function sustainability. Thus, this study aims to 1) identify riverbank’s ecological status, 2) its Protection Carrying Capacity (PCC), 3) determine indicative location of rehabilitation, 4) dev...

Fishing is one of the best known and practiced human activities. However, you should remember that, when casting the hook from the riverbank or grasping it to add bait, fishermen run a real risk of injury if the hook punctures the skin.Briefly we describe a case where a young, 32-year-old fisherman who was reeling the hook back to shore when it hit him in the face and embedded itself in his upp...

In urban rivers, groups of large waves are generated when boats like tankers pass. These waves are the main cause of reed covered bank erosion. Reed banks are required in order to protect the riverbank and to provide inhabitant for wildlife. Therefore it is important to clarify a relationship between wave energy and rate of bank erosion. For this purpose, we constructed detached breakwaters in ...

Human activities within a watershed, such as agriculture, urbanization, and dam building, may affect the sediment yield from the watershed. Because the equilibrium geomorphic form of an estuary is dependent in part on the sediment supply from the watershed, anthropogenic activities within the watershed have the potential to affect estuary geomorphology. The Sacramento River drains the northern ...
