  6. Riprap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riprap

    Riprap causes morphological changes in the riverbeds they surround. One such change is the reduction of sediment settlement in the river channel, which can lead to scouring of the river bed as well as coarser sediment particles.

  7. Sediment transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment_transport

    Flow in culverts, over dams, and around bridge piers can cause erosion of the bed. This erosion can damage the environment and expose or unsettle the foundations of the structure. Therefore, good knowledge of the mechanics of sediment transport in a built environment are important for civil and hydraulic engineers.
