Summary paper:Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and magnitude of river floods. Floods not only cause damage by inundation and loss of life but also jeopardize infrastructure because of bank failure and riverbed erosion processes that are poorly understood. Common flood safety programs include dike reinforcement and river widening. The 2021 flood in the Meuse Basin caused 43 fatalities and a multibillion-dollar damage to infrastructure. Based on analysis of the Meuse flood, we show how uneven widening of the river and heterogeneity of sediment deposits under the river can cause massive erosion. A recent flood safety program widened the river, but created bottlenecks where widening was either prevented by infrastructure, or not yet implemented. Riverbed …
