Abstract
The River Nile has experienced main morphological changes during previous times decades. Irresponsible human interferences and their actions change the connections between the river channel and its contiguous floodplain as shown at Al Wasta City
waterfront which is located on the west bank of the River Nile, south of Cairo, Egypt. The study reaches agonized from reduced morphological and conservation diversities resulting
from human interventions. The main objectives of the research are to analyze the historic and present river geomorphic and morphologic descriptions at the study zone, developed the hydraulic modeling method to notice these changes using a two-dimensional model (SMS), proposed several alternatives for restoration to increase hydraulic effectiveness of
the river channel, and estimated these alternatives to identify the most and the best feasible
solutions. The hydrodynamic situations in the study reach were changed in command to be able to control and sustain the chosen water levels, water flow velocity, and hydraulic
channel situations by the removal of sediment deposition (by the scouring process). The number of restoration alternatives were recognized and were evaluated to find satisfactory
restoration actions. The two-dimensional hydrodynamic model is used to map the flow array in the study area and to classify the areas of faster sediment statement. The number
of restoration alternatives was recognized as temporary solutions (dredging) and permanent
solutions (spur dikes) to be able to control and sustain the chosen (water levels, water flow velocity, and hydraulic channel situations). The results showed that the combination
between dredging and spur dikes the best solution where given min erosion and deposition and its positive effects affect the river. The main thrust of this research is the proposal of a new strategic plan for river restoration not based exclusively on qualitative assessment but developed using numerical analysis.
