The Western Bug River is a transboundary river in Eastern Europe. The average long-term water discharge in the studied section is 80.2 m3/s, and the spring flood water discharge of 1% probability is 818 m3/s. Retrospective analyses of aerial photographydata for the period from 2004 to 2022 allowed us to establish the average annual coastline movement rate, which was 0.85 m/year.
A digital relief model of the catchment area was created and a detailed channel model was construvted, which is based on the use of low-water and Navier-Stokes equations. Areas at risk of erosion are highlighted.
In the channel part the shore stabilization is recommended in the form of rock fill or stone paving. It is also necessary to provide for stabilization in the form of rock fill with a connecting structure for the passage of flood waters for the floodplain part near two meanders.
