Estimation of Flow Resistance Due to Embankments and Spur Dikes during Floods

Flow resistance is a key factor in predicting the river conveyance capacity and associated water levels. In addition to bed resistance, the obstacles (embankments, spur dikes etc.) in the flood plain of a river contribute to the flow resistance. In particular the elevated parts are expected to play...
