摘要
A methodology for dam removal monitoring and the results of two case studies is presented: Mendaraz dam (Urumea River) and Inturia dam (Leitzaran River), both located in Gipuzkoa. This monitoring is conducted by river survey cross-sections, measurements of processes and granulometrical analysis. Fast sediment erosion and sedimentation together with geomorphological adjustments were detected after dam removal. In Mendaraz an extraordinary flood favored these processes. The recovery offluvial dynamics shows benefits not only from the ecological point of view but also for the restoration of natural river dynamics. Geomorphological monitoring is a key tool to quantify and assess river evolution and dynamics after dam removal.
