Studies on River Training

Abstract: 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 Colombia, the Rhine branches in the Netherlands and the Brahmaputra-Jamuna River in Bangladesh. A fifth paper reviews the state-of-the-art in predicting and influencing the formation and behavior of river bars. The edito… Show more

“…The first Chinese emperor Yu the Great developed a strategy to regulate floods by giving the river additional space rather than only erecting dikes and dams along its banks around 2200-2100 BC. [10] Employees dug the riverbeds, redirected floodwater into a network of irrigation canals, and widened a Yellow River bottleneck at Mount Longmen. [11] Describes how rivers were modified in classical antiquity for military purposes although the precise truth of his accounts is debated.…”

“…The structures used for river training include longitudinal structures such as bank revetments and guide bunds, as well as transverse structures such as groins, and spur dikes. Some useful advice that is not immediately apparent to beginners or laypeople is shared by seasoned river engineers [10]. For example, groins or spurs pointing downstream draw flows to the river bank instead of deflecting them away from it.…”

“…To minimize artificial influences on the occurrence of bedforms, a erosion zone of 2 m in length was placed at the upstream end of the channel. These are the so-called free bars conditions 27,28 . Water supply was provided from the upstream end, the flow rate Q was assumed to be steady, and an electromagnetic flow meter was used to confirm that the steady state was maintained.…”

“…El desarrollo urbano y la necesidad de espacio para infraestructura ha confinado muchos ríos y limitado su posibilidad de divagación, entre ellos el río Medellín, razón por la cual el único grado de libertad disponible para este es la vertical, generado así procesos de erosión y socavación que resultan a largo plazo en modificaciones de la pendiente longitudinal del canal (Mosselman, 2020). Dicha situación ha generado la necesidad de evaluar el comportamiento hidráulico del canal y de obras de mitigación para diferentes escenarios hidrológicos (Universidad Nacional, 2013).…”
