Abstract: | Flow in rivers and on floodplains is complex as it is affected by several interconnected factors such as topography, sediment
transport and vegetation characteristics. The resulting processes are explained by the measure “Hartheim” planned for retention
purposes at the Upper Rhine river. On the basis of existing formulas and instruments it is demonstrated that a good estimation
of the development of the measure is possible. The proposed procedure is a useful tool for estimating morphological developments
of restored river sections. |
