Method of restorating water level of small rivers

Abstract

The article presents method for restoring the water level of small rivers that are subjected to degradation on the example of section of the Meklet River. To assess the degradation of rivers, there is proposed method based on maintaining balance between bottom sediments removed from the riverbed and the water volume in the prism of coastal landscape flooding during high water. The methodology for calculating the amount of silt shifting can be used to monitor the state of river beds. When forming coastline on inconvenient coastal landscapes as enclosing structures, the method allows the use of flexible tanker shells filled with excavated bottom sediments.
