The Potential for Dams to Impact Lowland Meandering River Floodplain Geomorphology

Figure 5

Conceptual model of the effects of dams on floodplain geomorphology. Timescales over which processes operate are arranged vertically through the model. +ve and –ve symbols indicate whether the changes induced by damming typically result in an increase or decrease in the rates of a particular process. Diagram is from Grove et al. [195].
