Abstract
The braided rivers are governed by complex, unstable river networks formed due to the interaction of high flow energy and intense sediment transport. The generation of complex morphological adjustments over a braided corridor is a response to the changes in flow and sediment supply. Understanding braided river behavior and underlying concepts through field-based studies, modeling, analysis and cloud computing can be beneficial for their effective management. The present thesis provides a comprehensive understanding of the process-form relationships and associated management approaches along the continuum of braided channels.
