Floods are not only due to fatality. It is the responsibility of the human being to protect himself from heavy damages due to natural elements, and he sometimes has the chance to profit from a given situation to influence events. One of these possibilities ...
The origin and reactivity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) have received attention for decades due to the key role DOM plays in global carbon cycling and the ecology of aquatic systems. However, DOM dynamics in river networks remain unresolved, hampered b ...
River bank protection is a costly but essential component in river management. Outer banks in river bends are most vulnerable to scour and erosion. Previous laboratory experiments illustrated that a well-designed horizontal foundation of a vertical outer b ...
Streams and rivers form conspicuous networks on the Earth and are among nature's most effective integrators. Their dendritic structure reaches into the terrestrial landscape and accumulates water and sediment en route from abundant headwater streams to a s ...
The morphodynamic changes in a confluence zone due to local tributary widening were experimentally investigated in a set-up representative of regulated piedmont confluences. A reference configuration with a constant tributary width of 0.15 m is compared to ...
In this paper, we develop a simple analysis method to infer some properties of the watershed processes from daily streamflow data. The method is built on a simple streamflow model with a link to rainfall stochasticity, which characterizes the streamflow as ...
Streambank erosion is an aspect of flood hazards that has been largely neglected to date due to its complexity. The INTERREG IIIb NWE project « Strategies and Actions for Flood Risk Management » (SAFER) has recognized its importance by including this aspec ...
Streams and rivers form dense networks that drain the terrestrial landscape and are relevant for biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and transport and transformation of carbon. Yet, resolving in both space and time gross primary production (GPP), ...
Riparian vegetation influences hydraulic and morphodynamic river processes and may contribute to sediment stabilization. In turn, vegetation recruitment and growth on non-cohesive fluvial deposits strongly depends on river hydrology and the ability of root ...
Due to a complex three-dimensional flow pattern, the outer banks of river bends are predisposed to erosion. When endangering civil structures, preventing measures to mitigate this erosion are thus required. Vertical ribs at protection walls for scour reduc ...
