This lecture delves into the morphodynamics of alluvial rivers, using the Solalex case study as an example. The instructor discusses the revitalization of watercourses, carrying materials, river hydraulics, and the analysis of sediment dynamics. Various methodologies for diagnosing safety and environmental deficits are explored, along with proposed protective measures to mitigate risks and preserve natural dynamics. The lecture also covers the estimation of sediment loads, erosion processes, and the importance of monitoring and maintaining the morphology of river systems.
