Abstract: One-dimensional (1D) hydrodynamic network models for tidal predictions are common in engineering practice. 1D morphodynamic network models, however, have rarely been reported in the literature. This may be due to difficulties in dealing with two fundamental uncertainties in morphodynamic models: sediment transport and the distribution of sediment at bifurcations. The purpose of the present paper is to show that the morphodynamic behav- iour of the model is extremely sensitive to certain parameters in the sediment transport formula and the nodal-point relation.
