River systems are increasingly under stress and pressure from agriculture and urbanization in riparian zones, resulting in frequent engineering interventions such as bank stabilization or flood protection. This study provides guidelines for a more sustainable approach to river management based on hydrogeomorphology concepts applied to three contras...

L'hydrogéomorphologie est une approche en développement au Québec afin d'apporter un cadre d'analyse complémentaire aux pratiques de gestion des systèmes fluviaux. À travers l'étude de cas de la rivière Matane, cet article propose des méthodes cartographiques appliquées pour la gestion de l'aléa d'inondation de rivières situées en climat tempéré fr...

Hydro-geomorphological assessments are an essential component for riverine management plans. They usually require costly and time-consuming field surveys to characterize the spatial variability of key variables such as flow depth, width, discharge, water surface slope, grain size and unit stream power throughout the river corridor. The objective of...

Understanding the hydrogeomorphological trajectory of a river allows us to document the impact of environmental changes on the river, but also to determine sustainable management solutions in the cases of a non-equilibrium river system. The hydrogeomorphological trajectory is obtained through the quantification of morphological and hydrological cha...
