Hydrological and geographical aspects of channel processes management
Abstract
The paper gives a definition of «channel processes management» as a complex of human influences on river channels to minimize or prevent hazard occurrences of channel processes and their negative changes, to account river channels regime and to support hydroecological safety in the process of rivers and riverine territories exploitation, water economy and water transport use of river resources. Problems of channelprocesses management are evaluated, rivers are classified according to the conditions of channel processes management with due account of the channel stability, channel regime and degree of their economic development. Different approaches for channel processes management on plain and mountain rivers, big and small rivers, rivers with incised and wide-floodplain channels, rivers with sand and pebble bed-material load, etc. are described The importance of predicting the channels deformation due to environment and climate changes and under water economy and water transport activities is emphasized.
