DREDGING FOR FLOOD-RISK REDUCTION UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF HYDRAULIC, SEDIMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dredging is widely used to restore channel capacity, but its contribution to climate-resilient flood-risk reduction depends on whether sediment-induced loss of conveyance is a principal flood mechanism. This critical narrative review synthesizes evidence on climate-driven flood hazards, channel hydraulics, sediment dyn…
