Flow Hydrodynamics across Open Channel Flows with Riparian Zones: Implications for Riverbank Stability

Flow Hydrodynamics across Open Channel Flows with Riparian Zones: Implications for Riverbank Stability

Riverbank vegetation is of high importance both for preserving the form (morphology) and function (ecology) of natural river systems. Revegetation of riverbanks is commonly used as a means of stream rehabilitation and management of bank instability and erosion. In this experimental study, the effect...
