Summary: Alterations to sediment supply can cause morphological adjustment in fluvial channels, but understanding the specific changes that occur in response to sediment supply modifications has been challenging. This review focuses on the geomorphic response of low-gradient, braided and meandering alluvial river channels to increases in sediment supply. The synthesis of existing literature suggests that channel adjustment occurs at different scales, determined by thresholds defined by the characteristics of the sediment influx, and future research should aim to quantify these thresholds and investigate other controlling factors.

Summary: Hydropeaking, a method of artificially generating flow peaks, has a significant impact on the hydro-sedimentary dynamics of rivers. This study investigates the effect of hydropeaking on sediment particle motion in a gravel-to-cobble bed river in the Pyrenees. The results show that the maximum flow discharged by the hydropower plant primarily affects the downstream section of the river, entraining finer particles. Differences in sediment supply, bed slope, and surface layer structure control the variability of particle motion between sections. Additionally, hydropeaking leads to partial transport, selectively removing sand and small gravel downstream and increasing armoring.

Summary: Many sand-bed rivers worldwide are experiencing reductions in sediment load, leading to river delta drowning. This study proposes a grain size-specific relation to simulate river morphodynamic evolution, finding that sediment grain sorting accelerates bed surface armoring and reduces sediment load delivery to the delta. These results have practical implications for river delta restoration.

Summary: Given the challenges of modeling complex bed load transport processes in rivers, this research focuses on developing a method to determine ungauged bed load concentration using measured suspended sediment concentration and hydraulic variables. The approach uses shear stress and suspended sediment concentration equations for turbulent flow and correlates the predicted bed load concentration with suspended sediment concentration. The study evaluates the efficiency of different bed load functions across stations and finds that the stream power-based function best predicts bed load transport. Disparities in estimation arise from station-specific factors and uncertainties.

Summary: A new modeling framework was presented to simulate long-term peatland development in river floodplains, showing that the development of peatland is largely determined by the spacing and mobility of the local river channel(s) rather than regional factors. Changes in regional conditions such as climate and land cover across the upstream river basin have limited effect on peat growth.

Summary: Prediction of bed load sediment transport rates in rivers is difficult due to variability in river hydraulics and channel morphology. A neural network model using 8117 measurements from 134 rivers was developed to predict bed load transport rates based on river discharge, flow width, bed slope, and bed surface sediment sizes. The model showed good performance in estimating bed load flux and reproducing sediment rating curves without site-specific calibration. This neural network model has the potential to broadly predict bed load fluxes based on discharge and reach properties alone.

Summary: Geogenic contaminants, such as elevated concentrations of manganese (Mn), pose a threat to drinking water safety and sustainable water supply worldwide. This research investigates the spatial distribution of groundwater Mn in different aquifer units and the variations of sediment geochemistry to better understand the sources and mobilization of Mn in groundwater. The study finds that the oxidation of organic matter and reduction of Mn oxides and Fe (hydr)oxides in sediments contribute to the enrichment of groundwater Mn. These findings are important in understanding the sources and controlling processes of Mn in alluvial-lacustrine aquifer systems.

Summary: The study examines the air concentration distribution in ski jump generated jet using quasi 3D analytical simulation and numerical analysis, confirming a unique relationship between air concentrations and relative black water core length. Various factors such as approach flow depth, Froude number, and geometrical parameters of ski jump influence the black water core length and the air concentration distribution along the jet. An analytical equation is proposed to predict air concentration distribution based on different hydraulic and geometric parameters, and increasing air concentration is found to reduce the jet velocity profile.

Summary: In this study, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads were modified with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and/or bentonite (Be) to improve phosphate adsorption. Incorporation of CaCO3 nanoparticles into CMC/SA/Be hydrogel beads significantly enhanced phosphate adsorption. The kinetics of methylene blue (MB) adsorption by hydrogel beads followed the pseudo-second-order model, while phosphate adsorption followed the Elovich model. Furthermore, Langmuir isotherm fitted the phosphate adsorption by CMC/SA/Be/CaCO3 hydrogel beads, indicating improved phosphate adsorption through chemical interaction.

Summary: The hydraulic jump stilling basin is commonly used for dissipating energy from supercritical flow. A mathematical relationship between the sequent flow depth ratio of a hydraulic jump and the inflow Froude number and relative length of the basin front was derived through dimensional analysis. The proposed structure stabilized the hydraulic jump and improved energy dissipation performance. Experimental and numerical simulations showed the formation of large recirculation regions, leading to intense energy dissipation in the right-triangle basin.
