Does river engineering have the potential to make floods worse? This essay will involve explaining whether or not different types of hard and soft engineering make floods worse. I will go through each type of engineering and explain their advantages and disadvantages to see if they are each capable of making a flood worse or not. Levees Levees are an example of hard engineering and are basically just big piles of either concrete‚ rocks or soil that have been piled up to increase the height of

Describe and explain how river processes change along the long profile of a river A river changes shape as it flows from its source (where a river starts) to its mouth (where a river flows into a sea or lake). The shape of the long profile (a slice through the river from source to mouth) shows how the rivers gradient‚ height‚ energy and load changes due to erosion processes such as abrasion‚ cavitation‚ attrition‚ hydraulic action and corrosion as well as how the rivers deposition rates fluxuate
