30 wrz 2006 · By the time River Channel Changes (Gregory, 1977a) was published, a clear understanding existed of the need to focus upon channel cross-section, channel planform and network changes induced by human activity.
Channel adjustments were mainly driven by human actions, but the role of large floods was also notable in some cases. Different human interventions have been identified as the causes of channel adjustments (sediment mining, channelization, dams, reforestation and torrent control works).
The Rhine River is affected by major human interventions affecting its morphology and sediment regime, which have severely changed its flow and sediment transport. While channelization has increased … Expand
