A waterway where topographical surface water is flowing from higher to lower geopotential is called a river and hydraulic characteristics of the flow is closely related to geometric shape in the longitudinal and cross sections. Note that the river shape keeps changing according to topography and flowing water actions. Due to this reason, a study on periodical river bathymetry is necessary for maintenance that reflects a flow characteristic of rivers. In particular, a variation in local river bathymetry caused by large-scale river improvement projects and hydraulic structures could
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
