Modelling of hydrodynamic and erosion processes at vegetated lake shores: Development of a process-based tool for the design of the protection of a lake shore with reed-like vegetation

In recent years, the interest in integrating shore protection with the local ecosystems has increased. In comparison with the traditional reinforced embankments, integrated shores form a gradual transition from land to water where shore vegetation can establish itself. These nature-friendly shores have a positive impact upon the water quality,...
