Overview

RiverFlow 2004 is the second International Conference on fluvial hydraulics and has established the periodicity of the series. Organized as specialty conferences under the auspices of the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR) with its Fluvial Hydraulics and Eco Hydraulics Sections, RiverFlow conferences appear to be an important moment of aggregation for many researchers involved in river modelling and observation. The intense land use of the last century and the lack of adequate sustainable development policies are probably the most important reasons of river hazards. As water is of vital importance as a resource in the human well-being we need a better comprehension of river processes and an adequate management of fluvial areas. Scientists are aware of this necessity and largely contribute with their researches toward this aim. This is clearly shown by the number of papers presented at RiverFlow 2004 (172) and by the number of countries represented (43).; Papers in this volume are related to the following topics: Fluvial processes (Morphology and morphodynamics; Bed forms and flow resistance; Over-bank flow and vegetation; Interaction with structures; Sediment supply, entrainment and transport); River hazards (Dam break and fast transients; Bank failure; Flood propagation; Hyper-concentrated flows; Water pollution and contaminant transport); Hydraulics for river management (River training and restoration; Habitat management and maintenance flows; Flood management and control; Integration of telemetry and GIS).
