Sand, gravel, and crushed stone are the most mined materials on Earth. Aggregates
constitute the foundation for modern civilization and are essential for providing shelter …

Recent growth of the construction industry has fuelled the demand for sand, with
considerable volumes being extracted from the world's large rivers. Sediment transport from …

Large dams impose an artificial flow-sediment regime that affects the alteration along
channel form and riverine habitats. The present article synthesizes the knowledge on growth …

The world's large rivers are facing reduced sediment loads due to anthropogenic activities
such as hydropower development and sediment extraction. Globally estimates of sand …

Riverbank erosion has significant geomorphological as well as anthropogenic
consequences. The geomorphological impacts include form changes such as lateral …

Rivers are one of the main sources to supply sand and gravel for construction projects.
Depending on river morphology and hydraulic characteristics, its sediment transport …

Channel dredging has become a common phenomenon across several fluvial systems. Pits
dredged in the riverbank can influence the downstream turbulence and affect the bank slope …

Mining activities can endanger the stability of hydraulic structures. Numerical modeling of
local scouring around hydrodynamic and circular bridge pile groups, due to the action of …

In the current experimental study, turbulent flow structures and Reynolds stress anisotropy in
an asymmetric sinuous mobile channel are investigated. Experiments were conducted in a …

Due to the fast pace of urbanization worldwide, industrial sand mining activities have
imposed great pressure on the environment, and consequently, these activities have led to …
