A sediment fluxes investigation for the 2-D modelling of large river morphodynamics

What is it about?

A complete understanding of alluvial-bed dynamics is desirable for evaluating a variety of issues related to water resources. Sediment fluxes were investigated in a bifurcation of the large Parana River near Rosario, Argentina. The backscatter estimations from the Doppler profilers provided the suspended load of the sediment forming the riverbed, while an echo-sounder was applied to track the dunes yielding the bed-load estimation.
