River engineering  

Description

The course focusses on river morphodynamics and planning and design of river regulation and restoration works and hydraulic risk mitigation structures. The module combines an overview of the morphodynamical processes that defines the river geometry, at the different spatial scales, and the evolutionary trajectories due to natural and anthropogenic forcings, with a suite of the most common types of intervention and works for hydraulic defense and management of water and sediment fluxes. The course includes an applied part that consists in the drafting of a river engineering project.
