Developing a conceptual model of geomorphic change for channel management proposes: a case of Langat River basin

This article examines channel changes using predictive model of geomorphic change in the Langat River catchment. River geomorphic change resulted from a number of variables control such as climate, geology, water discharge, sediment influx, the bed and bank characteristics, vegetation covers and...
