Explains the behavior of rivers in order to recognize changing conditions associated with unstable streams or scour at bridge foundations that may threaten the stability of the bridge. Provides tips and guidance on what to look for with regard to both stream instability, including lateral instability, degradation, and aggradation, and scour at bridges, including contraction scour, pier scour, and abutment scour.
