Effects of hydraulic structures on changing flood zones in Kan river, Iran

Application of hydraulic structures may control the destruction rate of the flood but sometimes they have undesirable effects on some aspects of flood behaviours leading to detrimental outcomes. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effects of bridges, culverts, groins and drops on inundation extension in a about 7 km long reach of Kan River, Iran.
