This book provides a comprehensive exploration of morpho-hydro-sediment interactive processes to explain channel planform dynamics, integrating advanced quantitative techniques and assessing flood risks, including model-based mitigation strategies. It delves into the temporal evolution of riverscape dynamics driven by autogenic and allogenic factors, while evaluating sediment generation within catchments. Additionally, it features comparative case studies of riverscapes across diverse climatic regimes at comparable scales. Key features of the book include: Application of HEC-RAS flood modeling : Examines spatial floodwater distribution scenarios with and without bridges, as well as strategies for reframing and relocating bridge structures. Quantitative analysis of hydro-morphological indices and sediment components : Offers detailed insights into sediment dynamics and their interactions with hydrological processes. Land cover and land use linkages : Explores the relationship between land use patterns and hydrologic regimes, highlighting their interconnected impacts. Hydrology, ecology, and environmental linkages : Discusses vulnerabilities and interactions between hydrological systems, ecological processes, and environmental factors. Sediment generation and transportation : Reviews sediment generation processes, transportation mechanisms, and physio-chemical characteristics in depositional environments.


This book is designed for graduate students and researchers in civil and environmental engineering, hydrology, and related fields, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay of hydrological, ecological, and sedimentary processes.
