Several solutions for predicting the movement of meanders have been proposed in the past. This report shows these solutions to be unreliable. The solution outlined in this report considers soil erodibility as an independent parameter influencing meander migration. Other conventional parameters such as flow velocity, meander radius of curvature, river width, and others are part of the proposed solution. Through a combination of well-instrumented large-scale flume tests, quality numerical simulations, and fundamental laboratory erosion tests, a simple and reliable solution is developed.
