Conclusion
Ecological channel science should have a bearing on achievements in general channel science (theoretical, and its natural-history branch — geographical) and simultaneously be closely related to engineering channel science. In this case, it treats both the ecological aspects of the natural evolution of river channels (including channels transformed as a result of economic activity), and also the ecological consequences of any interference in the evolution of channel processes and their factors.
