Abstract
Predicting the uncertainties of morphological effects due to river measures or changing natural conditions is necessary for a sustainable development of these systems. Recently, various approaches have been presented to quantify these uncertainties (Van der Klis, 2003; Van Vuren 2005). They have showed that Monte Carlo simulations based on crude sampling (MCS) is a suitable method to quantify uncertainties in the results of morphological models. The MCS method is able to deal with the non-linear behaviour, the time and space dependence and the degree of uncertainty. Overall, these approaches were limited in that they only accounted for river systems with uniform sediment.
