This lecture discusses the morphodynamics of alluvial and fluvial systems through real-world examples. It covers topics such as the analysis of sediment dynamics, sediment balance, carrying capacity of watercourses, and proposed protective measures. The instructor presents case studies, including the emergency construction of a dike after a flood, the diagnosis of safety and environmental deficits, and the erosion dynamics of riverbanks.
