River Channel Dynamics

River channel dynamics refer to the changes and processes that occur in a river's path over time. This includes how water flows, how sediments are transported, and how the riverbanks and bed evolve due to natural forces like erosion and deposition. Factors such as rainfall, geology, vegetation, and human activities influence these changes. Understanding river channel dynamics is essential for managing water resources, preventing flooding, and preserving ecosystems, as it helps us predict how rivers will behave and shape the surrounding landscape.
