The influence of the hydrograph and the river geometry on sediment management in the Waal: A research into dredging data

Sediment management is necessary to keep the Waal navigable. Sediment management in the Waal is carried out by both dredging and plowing of the river bed. By analysing historic data available at Rijkswaterstaat, the relation between the hydrograph and the amount of required dredging and plowing is investigated. Also the influence of the...

Using River Geometry for Rating Curve Computation: A step towards Remote River Rating

Conventional practices of rating curve computation fall short in many aspects. They are data-intensive and are notoriously inaccurate in high-flow regimes as a result of extrapolation of low-flow curve fitting. By making use of a simple commercial UAV, a physically-based rating curve is computed that is substantiated by a detailed representation...
