TL;DR: Improved understanding of the fate and transport of contaminants of concern and increased long-term monitoring and data dissemination will help effectively manage water-quality risks associated with unconventional gas industry today and in the future.

TL;DR: In this article, a morphodynamic model for river meander migration is presented, in which separate relations are developed for the migration of the eroding bank and the depositing bank.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that only rare evidence of contamination of surface and groundwaters in Pennsylvania showed that incidents that impact PA waters have been relatively rare and that contaminants were quickly diluted; however, firm conclusions are hampered by the lack of information about location and timing of incidents due to liability or confidentiality agreements.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new approach that calculates rates of river meander migration using physically-based streambank erosion formulations, which can capture the complex long-term migration patterns of natural channels which cannot be merely predicted from hydrodynamics only.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of bend orientation on bed morphodynamics in a periodic, asymmetric, Kinoshita meandering channel was investigated. But the results were limited to the case of bends oriented upstream valley, whereas for the case with bends oriented downstream valley they are observed around the upstream inflection point, and the downstream-skewed condition produces the deepest scour region, which is located downstream of the bend apex.
