Geomorphic Changes Related to Anthropogenic Interference Along the Ganga River From Rishikesh to Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India: Geomorphic Response of the Ganga to Tehri Dam
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the changes in the geomorphic activity of the Ganga River between Rishikesh and Haridwar by using Survey of India (SOI) 1:5000 scale topographic sheets, satellite data, digital elevation model (DEM), and hydrological data from published resources.

Morphological adjustments of the lower Orba River (NW Italy) since the mid-nineteenth century
TL;DR: A multi-temporal and multi-scale analysis based on historical data collection and review, maps and aerial photograph interpretation, field observations, topographic surveys, and GIS investigations was performed to examine the morphological evolution of lower Orba River since the mid-nineteenth century, identify its controlling factors, and correctly interpret ongoing hydrogeomorphic conditions under a river management perspective as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the findings of recent papers that under different intensities of human disturbance have coupled the analyses of riverine geomorphological and plant community patterns, and demonstrate the existence of a strong relationship between the woody species variance that can be explained by geomorphologic patterns and human disturbance intensity.

Hydraulic analysis of a meander on the Danube River using a 2D flow model
TL;DR: It was found that by carefully selecting the locations where dredging should be conducted, no other interference is needed to put an end to the increasingly deteriorating situation in the meander.

PROFILE: Hungry Water: Effects of Dams and Gravel Mining on River Channels
TL;DR: Management of sand and gravel in rivers must be done on a regional basis, restoring the continuity of sediment transport where possible and encouraging alternatives to river-derived aggregate sources.

Downstream effects of dams on alluvial rivers.
G.P. Williams,M.G. Wolman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe changes in mean channel-bed elevation, channel width, bed-material sizes, vegetation, water discharges, and sediment loads downstream from 21 dams constructed on alluvial rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of channel response in disturbed alluvial channels
TL;DR: In this article, the adjustment of channel geometry and phases of channel evolution are characterized by six process-oriented stages of morphologic development, premodified, constructed, degradation, threshold, aggradation, and restabilization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model of island development is proposed which integrates the interactions between large woody debris and vegetation, geomorphic features, sediment calibre and hydrological regime.
