River Backwater Effects

River Backwater Effects is a hydrodynamic phenomenon in which elevated water levels in coastal zones caused by storm surge or tidal influence propagate upstream into river systems, thereby reducing the river’s conveyance capacity and altering flow dynamics upstream of the tidal influence zone.
