Why do we build check dams in Alpine streams? An historical perspective from the French experience
For more than 150 years, humans have tried to limit the geomorphic activity of mountain
streams, and the related damage, using torrent control works. Check dams are likely the …

Live-bed scour at submerged weirs
Weirs or bed sills are low-head hydraulic structures used for bed stabilization, raising
upstream water level, and reducing flow velocity. During high-flow events, the weir is fully …

Evaluating the effects of check dams on channel geometry, bed sediment size and riparian vegetation in Mediterranean mountain torrents
In mountain streams possible negative impacts of check dams on soil, water and riparian
vegetation due to check dam installation can be noticed. In spite of the ample literature on …
