Abstract

Channel formation of alluvial rivers (regime width, planforms) is presented. Fluvial hydraulics and sediment transport theory are summarised. Principles of environmentally friendly hydraulic engineering are derived from river morphology. Special attention is given to the application to flood protection and river restoration projects.

Objective

Die wichtigsten Mechanismen der Gerinnebildung alluvialer Flüssen werden aufgezeigt. Flushydraulik und Sedimenttransporttheorien werden zusammengefasst. Aus diesen Kenntnissen werden Grundsätze für den naturnahen Wasserbau abgeleitet.
