Predicting possible effects of dams on downstream river bed changes of a Himalayan river with morphodynamic modelling

The effect of building large dams on downstream channel morphology was reported by several studies on the basis of historical gauged data on discharge, sediment load and channel cross-sections records for a number of large rivers in Asia. However, there has been a notable absence of scientific liter...
