When bank protection works are constructed along an eroding outer bank, it is often observed that the bed along the outer bank becomes substantially deeper, sometimes causing the failure of the bank protection works themselves. Despite our awareness of this deepening phenomenon, its causes and quantitative estimation is still a matter of...
