Abstract: Increasing interest in the role of wetlands in pollutant removal and sedimentation in recent years has prompted research into hydraulic processes inherent to these systems. The research described in this paper focuses on flow processes within ecosystems known as riparian wetlands. Included in this article are results from laboratory models investigating flow through vegetation in these areas. Particular emphasis in this research has been placed on velocity profile measurement of flow within vegetation.
