Abstract: | The morphometric and anthropogenic risk factors of floods in a typical lowland Lower Kura R. are studied. The isolation of the channel from the floodplain is the major cause of floods in the river. The high channel tortuosity makes the flow turbulent. In addition, the high sediment concentration, the turbid and disperse character of the liquid, the gentle bed slope, and the alluvial character of the soil underlying the bed and embankments contribute to the vertical and horizontal dynamics of the channel. |
