Abstract

River restoration is a core component of Building with Nature, but it is hard to predict how a river evolves after restoration efforts. Andres Vargas Luna performed fundamental research into the effects of vegetation on river behaviour. To study this almost unexplored field, he used a combination of field observations and conducted experiments in a unique 45 meter long test basin
