Description
Rivers provide many contributions to human well-being: water supply for domestic use, irrigation and industry, sustainable energy, convenient transport links and valuable wildlife habitats. Rivers also creat hazards in the form of flooding and geomorphic events. The need for observation, analysis and control of fluvial processes has increased in line with the degree of conflicting pressures on rivers during the last decades. The discipline of River Hydraulics is solicited to guide engineering works, evaluate environmental impacts and mitigate hazards. Simultaneously, new modelling tools have emerged from advances in physical understanding, computational methods and measurement techniques. Organised under the auspices of the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR), the International Conference River Flow 2002 sought to provide a forum for researchers involved in such developments. The three major topic of this proceedings are: hydrodynamics of river flow; sediment transport in rivers; and tools for flow modelling.
