Cover Story: Mismanaged plastic waste (MMPW) threatens the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in social, economic, and ecological dimensions. Rivers are critical transport paths for MMPW, connecting land areas with oceans. The complex fluid–plastic particle interaction leads to a strong distribution of transported particles over the entire river width and flow depth. Therefore, a holistic plastic removal approach must consider lateral and vertical river dimensions. This study investigates the conceptual design of a novel river-cleaning system that enables the removal of both floating and suspended litter particles from rivers. In prototype-scale experiments using ten representative plastic particle types (both 3D items and fragments) of five different polymer types, we prove the self-cleaning concept of the infrastructure and define its parameters for the best cleaning performance.

The dispersion coefficients are crucial in understanding the spreading of pollutant clouds in river flows, particularly in the context of the depth-averaged two-dimensional (2D) advection–dispersion equation (ADE). Traditionally, the 2D stream-...

River flood routing computes changes in the shape of a flood wave over time as it travels downstream along a river. Conventional flood routing models, especially hydrodynamic models, require a high quality and quantity of input data, such as measured...
