Geomorphic Engineering for River Restoration Design
Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration
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.
