Manual of River Restoration Techniques

This manual was inspired by the success of two comprehensive restoration projects undertaken on the Rivers Cole and Skerne which were led by the RRC’s predecessor, The River Restoration Project, on behalf of key UK environmental organisations and the riparian owners. The projects demonstrate a range of practical river restoration techniques from...

Feasibility of dredging the Old Brahmaputra Off-take

Secondary currents and morphological evolution in a bifurcated channel

In studies of flow structures on single-thread meandering rivers, secondary currents have been shown to have a large influence on the morphological development of meander bends. Until this joint study between FAP 24 and the University of Nottingham, UK, there had been few similar studies carried out on the influence of secondary currents on...
