The Potential for Dams to Impact Lowland Meandering River Floodplain Geomorphology
Figure 3
Conceptual model of the changes in sediment regimes downstream of dams. The -axis represents distance downstream from the impoundment, with the area of sediment starvation beginning immediately downstream of the dam wall. -axis represents sediment supply and transport capacity. Vertical dotted lines mark the transitions between downstream reaches dominated by different processes. Modified from [53] with permission.
