This study focuses on the stability of riparian zones by evaluating bankfull channel geometry, including the channel width-depth ratio as a crucial metric (#6). It highlights issues of severe bank undercutting and frequent breaks in the riparian zone, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors for channel stability. Additionally, the use of debris dams and their impact on highbank stability is discussed. This guide serves as a resource for assessing and managing riparian zones effectively.
