fluvial dynamics

Fluvial dynamics refer to the processes and changes involved in the movement and shaping of river and stream systems. This includes how water flow transports sediments, erodes banks, deposits materials, and creates features like channels, floodplains, and deltas. These dynamics are influenced by factors such as water volume, flow speed, and sediment load, which vary over time. Understanding fluvial dynamics helps explain how rivers naturally evolve, how they shape landscapes, and how human activities or climate change can impact river behavior and health.
