Surface waterbodies are heavily exposed to pollutants caused by natural disasters and
human activities. Empowering sensor technologies in water quality monitoring, sufficient …

Riverbank vegetation is of high importance both for preserving the form (morphology) and
function (ecology) of natural river systems. Revegetation of riverbanks is commonly used as …

Three data-driven techniques, namely artificial neural networks, adaptive-network-based
fuzzy inference system, and symbolic regression based on genetic programming, are …

Bedload transport in gravel-bed rivers impacts channel stability, the lifespan of hydraulic
structures, physical components of aquatic habitat, and long-term channel evolution. Field …

The quantification of the sediment carrying capacity of a river is a difficult task that has
received much attention. For sand-bed rivers especially, several sediment transport …

In the present research, the data-driven methods (DDMs), are used to estimate the threshold
velocity of sediment motion. Results of the DDMs used in this research, including artificial …

A new method for the approximation of the explicit probability of entrainment for individual
coarse particles is presented. The method is based on the derivation of inertial acceleration …

This book will introduce new physical approaches (include fractional derivative models,
continuous time random walk methods and Hausdorff derivative models) to accurately …

The present paper considers the threshold for the initiation of sediment motion to be a fuzzy
set by taking into account the uncertainty related to individual sediment positioning and …

Earth's surface is continuously shaped due to the action of geophysical flows. Erosion due to
the flow of water in river systems has been identified as a key problem in preserving …
