Abstract Different mathematical models of river planform changes exist or are being developed. They are reviewed here by discussing a two‐dimensional depth‐averaged model, various meander models and a model for the braided Brahmaputra‐Jamuna River in Bangladesh. Much emphasis is placed on topics whe...

This editorial regards a Special Issue of Water on river training. It introduces five papers in a framework of history, fundamentals, case studies and future. Four papers result from decades of experience with innovation, planning, design and implementation of river training works on rivers in Colom...

Bangladesh is dominated by three great rivers – the Jamuna–Brahmaputra, Ganga, and Meghna – that combine to feed sediment into one of the World's largest deltas in the Bay of Bengal. The Jamuna River has developed in a region of significant tectonic activity associated with Himalayan uplift and deve...

This paper presents a hydraulic and morphological analysis of the Lower Jamuna in Bangladesh with a focus on two key bifurcations that are important for stabilization of the Lower Jamuna reach. We used ground measurements, historical data, multispectral satellite images from various sources as well ...

Bottom vanes are vortex generating devices that are mounted on the river bed at an angle to the prevailing flow direction. They can be used effectively for sediment management and training of alluvial rivers. We tested the three-dimensional flow field generated by bottom vanes in a 45.6 m long and 2...

The 10 km wide Jamuna river in Bangladesh is one of the most morphologically active rivers in the world, with bank erosion rates of up to 500 m per year (Mutton and Haque 2004). Such extreme river migration in the center of Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated and impoverished regions in th...

In this paper, we present flow and erosion problems in selected reaches of two large and dynamic river systems in South Asia, namely the Koshi River in Nepal (and India) and the Lower Brahmaputra (Jamuna) in Bangladesh. We attempted to analyse large- and meso-scale (short- and medium-term) morpholog...

Braided rivers are the most dynamic type of rivers, with a rapid and intricate morphological evolution. A limited understanding and inadequate algorithm implementation of specific morphological processes limits the prediction capabilities of physics-based models. The design of structures, infrastruc...

We present an explorative hydraulic and morphological analysis of a major bifurcation of the Lower Jamuna in Bangladesh based on satellite images, ground data and morphological modelling. We used Aqua Monitor to process multispectral satellite images to estimate the spatiotemporal extent of morpholo...

The main rivers of Bangladesh are boon and bane for the country. They supply water and fertile sediments allowing multiple crops per year, hundreds of waterways for navigation, rich fish stock and habitat diversity. But especially the dynamic, unpredictable Brahmaputra influenced rivers erode fertil...

Variable flows and fast morphological changes characterize the river system of Bangladesh, which includes the downstream reaches and delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, two of the largest rivers in the world. In contrast, fresh water supply around the country largely depends on much smaller ...
