Abstract
Within river systems, the process of bed-forming is intricate, dynamic and is shaped
by different factors. Hydraulic forces exerted by water flow play a crucial role, forming
the bed substrate over time. Additionally, the presence of vegetation within the riverbed
and along its banks introduces further complexity, as the interaction between plants and
hydrodynamics can alter sediment transport patterns and riverbed morphology. The
movement of both suspended particles and bedload materials within the water column
contributes to the ongoing riverbed landscape evolution. The primary aim of this editorial
collection is to assemble an extensive range of research methodologies aimed to inform
engineering practices pertinent to river management. Through an exhaustive exploration
of various topics, including water quality indexing, erosion and sedimentation patterns,
influence of vegetation, hydrological modelling for understanding flow dynamics, and
identification of critical hydraulic parameters with the utilisation of both analytical and
experimental modelling techniques, this paper endeavours to provide valuable insights
derived from rigorous research efforts. By synthesising and presenting these findings,
we offer a resource that can effectively guide future endeavours in river engineering and
related disciplines.
