| Summary, etc |
Summary: “Asia is hit hard by floods every year, causing loss of life and billions of dollars in damage. Much of the damage is related to bank erosion resulting from shifting channel positions on meandering channels, braided rivers, and alluvial fans. Understanding the natural processes that occur in these channel types is essential to improving flood hazard management in these environments. Past flood control efforts have often had only short-term success while exacerbating flooding and erosion problems elsewhere. A river morphology study conducted in 2009 on the Pyanj River Basin of Afghanistan and Tajikistan demonstrated how traditional flood and erosion control practices, such as embankments, bank armoring, and channel straightening, constrain natural river processes, and therefore are liable to result in channel responses that damage the flood control efforts…”—(page summary). |
