Luna Leopold best describes Dave Rosgen’s new book, Applied River Morphology, as “a generous and detailed explanation of the classification system and how it might be used to incorporate the observed processes of river mechanics into restoration design.” Applied River Morphology is the product of Dave Rosgen, a. With known stream flows may be found in Dave Rosgen’s Applied River Morphology. Exceptions Introduction Watershed characteristics and the local hydrologic regime influence the geometry of the channel and the surrounding floodplain by dictating the amount of sediment deposited and eroded in the channel.

Reservoir construction and operation can have a substantial effect on downstream river morphology. Channel-bed erosion downstream from 24 large reservoirs in Kansas ranged from negligible for a few sites to a maximum of about nine feet for the Republican River downstream from Milford Dam in northeast Kansas (Juracek, 2001).

This module is a significantly abbreviated version of Chapters 4 and 5 from this publication, and includes only the basics of the Rosgen classification.

The terms river morphology and its synonym stream morphology are used to describe the shapes of riverchannels and how they change in shape and direction over time. The morphology of a river channel is a function of a number of processes and environmental conditions, including the composition and erodibility of the bed and banks (e.g., sand, clay, bedrock); erosion comes from the power and consistency of the current, and can effect the formation of the river's path. Also, vegetation and the rate of plant growth; the availability of sediment; the size and composition of the sediment moving through the channel; the rate of sediment transport through the channel and the rate of deposition on the floodplain, banks, bars, and bed; and regional aggradation or degradation due to subsidence or uplift. River morphology can also be effected by human interaction, which is a way the river responds to a new factor in how the river can change its course. An example of human induced change in river morphology is dam construction, which alters the ebb flow of fluvial water and sediment, therefore creating or shrinking estuarine channels.[1] A river regime is a dynamic equilibrium system, which is a way of classifying rivers into different categories. The four categories of river regimes are Sinuous canali- form rivers, Sinuous point bar rivers, Sinuous braided rivers, and Non-sinuous braided rivers.
The study of river morphology is accomplished in the field of fluvialgeomorphology, the scientific term.
