Field Assessment Techniques for Bank Erosion Modeling
Abstract
Bank erosion, particularly when associated with vertical channel instability and/or active meander migration, poses serious problems to river channel users and flood plain dwellers. Objectives of the proposed work were as follows: (1) To evaluate potential for bank erosion; (2) To undertake field testing of the existing bank erosion in a wide variety of river environments; (3) To evaluate existing guidelines regarding their effectiveness in supporting field assessment of bank erosion by non-specialist personnel; and (4) To further develop guidelines to produce an assessment system suitable for routine use nationwide by non-expert personnel.
