What is it about?
Channel/floodplain connectivity is a decisive factor of water supply to oxbow lakes. The sedimentological sequences along the lower sections of rivers have been created by the alluviation of meandering rivers in historical times. The sedimentological sequences along the lower sections of rivers have been created by the alluviation of meandering rivers in historical times. For the rehabilitation measures (focusing on water replenishment to oxbows) with the purpose of enhancing ecosystem services. The detailed hydrogeological study of alluvial deposits and soils is indispensible

Why is it important?
Our results may be inspiring in understanding subsurface water dynamics in lake–river systems influenced by complex sediment structures. The investigation of sediment sequences by satellite image processing (SIP), Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) record, particle size distribution (PSD) indicated extreme spatial heterogeneity in the hydraulic properties of sediments down to 10 m below fluvial landforms. Modeling scenarios showed that the simplification of the sediment structure leads to erroneous result. With our studies we intend to contribute to regional water balance investigations and the planning of floodplain rehabilitation.
