Abstract
The static and dynamic forces at work on a riverbed impact both the clogging processes and the regenerative scouring processes in RBF systems. This chapter reviews shear forces exerted on a riverbed, and considers the additional forces developed under conditions of infiltration with saturated and unsaturated flow. Methods of measuring streambed shear stress are evaluated in relation to streambed scouring, and the relative impact of barge traffic on streambed shear stress is discussed. These measures help to define the suitability of a site for Riverbank Filtration.
