Lecture

Stream Regimes: River Eco-Morphology

Description

This lecture covers the concept of stream regimes, focusing on the natural width of river beds, the development of watercourses, and the impact of hydraulic constructions. It discusses the different styles of streams, the empirical formulas used to determine river characteristics, and the methods for calculating regime width. The instructor presents historical floods, irreversible constraints, and the ecological functions of rivers. The lecture also explores the morphological adjustments caused by changes in water intake, the longitudinal variation of energy in rivers, and the calculation processes involved in river eco-morphology.
