Rivers are dynamic systems influenced by geomorphological and hydrological processes, shaping landscapes and impacting ecosystems. This study examines river channel dynamics, sediment erosion, transportation, and deposition, highlighting the interplay between discharge variability and sediment load in river morphology. It explores how sediment transport influences river stability and the consequences of excessive sedimentation, such as flooding and erosion. The research also discusses flood routing techniques, including hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, to predict flood wave movements and mitigate flood risks. The study emphasizes the significance of stream channel stability and floodplain management in sustainable land use planning, infrastructure protection, and environmental conservation. By analyzing sediment transport mechanisms and the effects of natural and human-induced changes, this research provides insights into river behavior and its implications for water resource management. Understanding these processes is essential for mitigating the adverse effects of flooding, improving flood prediction models, and enhancing resilience in flood-prone areas. The findings contribute to geomorphological research and practical applications in hydrology, engineering, and environmental management.
