IAHR_Special: Advances and relevance of river monitoring techniques

Published by

August 1, 2023 3:34 pm |

Only a solid database enables a realistic assessment of the status of a watercourse and the planning of river engineering measures if they are necessary. The process of monitoring in rivers still poses great challenges for research. However, new monitoring methods have been continuously developed and existing ones improved over the past decades. The special...

Convenor: Chanjoo Lee (KICT, Korea) Many studies employed laboratory flumes for investigating various phenomena occurring in natural rivers. However, it is quite difficult to avoid the scale effect of a wide variety of hydraulics and ecological phenomena including sedimentation, aquatic flora and fauna, and associated habitats. Numerous full-scale hydraulic experiments have been recently conducted for...

IAHR_5_S7: Habitatmodelling – a tool for river restoration

Published by

August 1, 2023 1:34 pm |

Convenor: Christoph Hauer (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna) The prediction of the efficiency of restoration measures is essential from both the ecological as well as the economical aspect. Thus, tools are needed which are able to predict but also evaluate mitigation measures designed to improve the quality of aquatic ecosystems. Aim of...

IAHR_5_S6.2: Advances in sustainable hydropeaking management: ecological needs and implications

Published by

August 1, 2023 1:32 pm |

Convenors: Daniel S. Hayes (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna), Isabel Boavida (University of Lisbon), Roser Casas-Mulet (Technical University of Munich and University of Melbourne), Marie-Pierre Gosselin (Norwegian Institute for Nature Research) Hydropeaking operations are closely linked to short-term energy grid demands. However, intermittent turbine operations cause artificial river flow and stage fluctuations...
