The RIVERMorph® software is a database oriented software system geared towards channel measurement data collection / storage, reference reach data collection/storage, river assessment/monitoring and engineering applications including natural channel design. As the field of river restoration is ever changing, it is the goal that the development of RIVERMorph will be flexible enough to meet future needs of the profession.
Currently, there are no database oriented computer programs designed to store geomorphic data that allows the user to query the stored data as part of the design process. The software package has been developed into an expert system for the design of natural channels; will allow the user to store all geomorphic data collected in one easy to access location; will facilitate the development of geomorphically derived data such as regional curves; and will provide a medium through which geomorphically derived data can be shared among the profession.
RIVERMorph includes a variety of other tools which facilitate survey data reduction, development of dimensionless ratios for Natural Channel Design, estimation of bank erodibility, biological assessments, and calculation of peak flows. More...
RIVERMorph features a state-of-the-art graphical user interface that is user friendly and allows quick access to stored data. RIVERMorph stores river data in a database referenced by river name and reach name.
