Description
Summary:The Bystroe Channel project with transboundary environmental impact in the Danube Delta, area of great ecological significance that has already a strong anthropic footprint, requires close monitoring of water quality parameters in order to determine their tendencies and their impact on the ecosystem components. Riverbed bathymetry surveys using multibeam echo-sounders are of high interest due to the data resolution and coverage capabilities that surpass the single-beam methods. Two riverbed elevation datasets, recorded in consecutive years, have been used to carry out morphological comparative analysis for the area where Chilia branch bifurcates in Bystroe Channel and Old Stambul. The analysis has been performed both on the bathymetry grids as a whole and on 3 longitudinal and 9 transversal river sections, the morphological changes values being in majority included in [-0.5 m;+0.5 m], with a minimum of -2.4 m and a maximum of 2.2 m, showing the bifurcation influence on the erosion/deposition processes results.
