Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Groundwater Interactions With a Regulated River: A Case Study of the Nechako River, Canada

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulated rivers represent complex hydrological systems where groundwater–surface water interactions are governed by natural conditions and human interventions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water exchanges in the Nechako River, British Columbia (Canada), using numerical simulations.

Addressing Biases in Ice Jam Observations by Integrating Multi‐Source Data in a Forested Fluvial Landscape, Southern Quebec

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exhaustive long‐term and large‐scale ice jam records are scarce in most cold river environments. Many discrete events occur in small, sparsely populated river systems and are poorly represented in open‐source databases. These observation biases are transferred to predictive models of ice jams and the collective understanding of their formation

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Forests and Hydrological Services: Reconciling public and science perceptions

This paper compares and contrasts the science and public perceptions of the role of forests in relation to water quantity (annual and seasonal runoff and recharge) and erosion.

Forest impacts on freshwater acidification: an investigation of policy and practice in Galloway, S.W. Scotland [PDF]

, 2008
This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to investigate factors that influence the extent to which environmental policy and practice are founded on the best available knowledge of the environment.

Lessons Learnt From Long‐Term Monitoring of River Restoration in an English Chalk Stream

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River restoration can be difficult to evaluate due to insufficient monitoring over timescales too short to adequately capture physical and ecological response. To better understand restoration outcomes, this study quantified changes in physical habitat (depth, velocity, substrate composition) and macroinvertebrates at two restoration projects ...

Impact of forest disturbance on jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) forest hydrology [PDF]

, 2018
Globally, forests cover 31% of the Earth’s land mass and are critical areas for water supply. In Australia, forested catchments provide 77% of urban water supplies to capital cities.

Meander‐Bend Erosion Dynamics Along a Gravel‐Bed River: Insights From Short‐Term UAV Monitoring

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverbank erosion is a natural process in meandering rivers that contributes to sediment supply and geomorphic diversity, yet it can threaten infrastructure and human activities within the floodplain. Recently, many studies have used high‐resolution remote sensing technologies to measure bank erosion, but they often focus on technical aspects ...
