ABSTRACT
Sediment transport plays a key role in the morphological and ecological value of river ecosystems. The present study explores the design of sediment management measures for a flood control and revitalization project in an alpine valley of the Swiss Alps. The project was initiated after the October 2000 flood and it stands out for its extent, with reach of a 1 km long. The expected outcomes are the restoration of the river bed dynamics with the formation of alternate bars and an improvement of the longitudinal and lateral connectivity.
