The Effects of Anthropogenic Pressure on Rivers: A Case Study in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria
TL;DR: In this article , the effects of anthropogenic pressure in the last 70 years on some rivers of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria in terms of the following issues: planform changes, channelization, culverting, and the presence of structures and infrastructures interacting with rivers.

Dike fields as drivers and witnesses of twentieth-century hydrosedimentary changes in a highly engineered river (Rhône River, France)
TL;DR: In this paper , the trajectory of dike fields that serve as both drivers (e.g., inducing in-dike fine sediment trapping) and witnesses (i.e., informing the diversion impact) of hydrosedimentary changes is analyzed.

Historical development and the present status of Japanese dams
TL;DR: In this article , the relationship between dams and the social background in which the dams exist was examined for Japan, where dam construction began in earnest in the late 1800s and became a driving force for economic development.

Naturalising a heavily modified urban river: Initial habitat evolution in the Manzanares River (Madrid, Spain)
TL;DR: In this article , the initial effects of the barrage gate opening on instream habitats through the analysis of geomorphological, physico-chemical and vegetation metrics, and hydraulic variables associated with potential preferential conditions for native fish fauna, whose populations were greatly diminished.

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.

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.
