Abstract

Despite being the longest alluvial river in the world with longest path of sediment, the River Nile has received the least attention regarding the bed morphological changes especially downstream large man-made hydraulic structures such as barrages. Flow sediment interaction is expected to cause a wide range of bed geomorphologic changes in the River Nile affecting river navigation and major hydraulic structures on course. This chapter aims at providing an example of the extent of bed morphological changes downstream of the new Naga-Hammadi barrage as a result of controlled flow releases using 2D numerical modeling. A stochastic procedure is further presented that deals with the uncertainty emerging from scarcity of available measured data for sediment in the River Nile.
