Intensive Infilling Processes of a Cutoff Meander in the Danube Delta

Abstract This paper documents the structure of flow and bed morphology a cutoff meander Danube River in relationship with GIS approach. The cutoffs effect produce changes repartition water sediment fluxes between natural channel manmade canal, direct implications on environmental evolution delta. Dranov de Jos (Lower ‒ LDM) belt seems to be one most affected by rectification works performed Sfântu Gheorghe branch 1981 1992. upstream downstream parts are characterized decrease width banks sedimentation (with rate ‒6.2 m/year) at apex zone, bank’s is associated intense infilling central part channel, where large deposit 950 m length 190 formed.
