bridge on the changes of river morphology are investigated by the field data as well as by numerical computations using a 2-D depth integrated water and sediment flow model. The Jamuna bridge was constructed on 1998‚ and reduced the river flood width from 14.00 km to 4.8 km. Data analyses suggest that rapid morphological changes in terms of sediment deposition and side bank erosion occur in the upstream reach of the bridge site after its construction. The results obtained from the numerical computations

A river changes as you move from the source to the mouth (downstream)‚ but also from bank to bank (across stream). In this essay I will be discussing how depth velocity and bedload size change downstream and across stream linking to past river theory (the Bradshaw method). Depth is defined as the distance between the surface of the river to the bottom (the river bed) this distance is measured in a straight vertical line. As you move from the source to the mouth the river depth increases. (which

Stretches of a river can be different in terms of their processes and landforms. Introduction: My investigation is a study of hydrology‚ as I want to find out how and why a rivers channel‚ flow and valley characteristics change as you move downstream from its upper course to its mouth. These changes are represented in the Bradshaw Model (fig 1)‚ a fluvial model that describes changes in the river channel and flow characteristics between different courses along the river. Based on three factors

Sediment grain size and mineralogy distribution across beach profile‚ Mpenjati estuary‚ KZN. ABSTRACT The study was done in the Mpenjati estuary. It was found more briefly if sediment grain size and mineralogy distribution change across a beach profile changes and how it change. 4 zoneS of a beach profile were sampled. Quartz is the most stable sediment composition in the surface of the earth‚ compared to heavy minerals and feldspar (Marshak‚ 2008). INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to

This form of erosion cuts down towards the river bed and carves out steep-sided V-shaped valleys. This type of erosion is mainly abrasion which is the rubbing or scouring of the bed and banks by the sediment being carried along by the river. Hydraulic action is also present – this is the movement of sediment by the frictional drag of moving water. The channel is therefore very rough which causes turbulence so large angular bed load is scraped along the bed. This part of the river mainly transports large
