A portable/moveable thermoplastic base together with a recirculated water current enables Emriver Em2 to realistically simulate river processes. Little River Research and Design are based in Illinois and have created this modelling setup as a tool for River Scientists, Research groups and also for education. The model is able demonstrate the basic principles of a river's behaviour, studies the channel morphology and also explore's how sediment transport takes place. A model with such a capability provides an insight into how water flows across the land, the model expresses how a river might react from human intervention and the changes this forms further along the river. A fascinating hands on way of learning about the processes of a river and how and why it changes its course. Information for this post was gathered from the website 'http://www.emriver.com/index.html' where also the video was sourced from
