Description :
The dynamics of river beds can be assessed from scour and fill data obtained from scour chains. Chain insertion, anchoring and relocation can be determined with minimal manpower by utilising a set of tested employment methodologies. These are described in sufficient detail to allow fluvial geomorphologists, ecologists and river engineers to more commonly utilise chains in studies of river stability and river response.
