Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the geological structure of the Vistula river valley floor as the modifying factor of fluvial processes and present the development conditions of the contemporary Vistula river channel, which underwent marked transformation due to bed erosion and lateral erosion below the Włocławek reservoir. The analysis of the geological data and the geological survey conducted at the study reach of the Vistula between Włocławek and Toruń resulted in an image of the geological structure of the channel bed along the longitudinal profile

Channel Development

This paper presents an analysis of both the contemporary and historic development of the geomorphic regime of the Ostravice River channel in the Czech part of the Outer Western Carpathians. The assessment concentrates on the conditions and causes of the channel development in the last 200 years compared with the state of European channels. The original anabranching river pattern has gradually been replaced by a single narrowed channel. At some sections, the original riverbed has lowered by as much as 2.5 m in the second half of the 20th century. These changes were due to strong anthropogenic impacts in the form of river-channel control and construction of dams. A large influence on the contemporary processes was also exerted by changed hydrological conditions and a predisposition of flysch lithology in a channel bedrock to erosion. Currently, the deficit of transportable sedimentary material along with the changed morphology of channels with concentrated water flows are intensifying erosion processes.
