A Field Study on Groyne Field Nourishments

Over the past century, the main channel of the Waal has experienced erosion of approx-imately 1-2 metres (Ylla Arb´os et al., 2021; Chowdhury et al., 2023). This erosion leads to various problems such as instability of struc-tures or disruption to shipping. To address this ongoing degradation, a potential solution is the implementation of...

21st Century Channel Response of the Lower Rhine River to Climate Change

Climate change puts pressure on river systems, as it increasingly alters the river controls. Engineered rivers with a fixed planform respond to climate change and human intervention by adjusting the channel slope and bed surface grain size distribution. This response often consists of channel bed incision, over hundreds of kilometres, and during...

Morphodynamics of sand nourishments (sand engines) in eroding sections of the Rhine-Meuse Delta

Morphological Impacts of Porcupine River Training Structures

Long-term bed level change in the Dutch Rhine branches and its impacts to water availability

The effect of small density differences at large confluences

Confluences are fascinating elements in river systems. The merging of tributary rivers produces complex hydrodynamics that can play an important role in sediment transport problems, ecological studies or the routing of a pollutant. If the two merging rivers originate from different regions they can have different characteristics. One such a...
