The fluvio-geomorphological processes in meander bends are spatially uneven in

distribution. Typically, higher velocities and erosion take place near the outer bank beyond the

bend apex, while the inner bend point bar grows laterally towards the outer bank, increasing the bend

amplitude. These dynamics maintain the meander evolution. Even though this development is found

in meandering rivers independent of soil or environmental characteristics, each river still seems to

behave unpredictably. The special mechanisms that determine the rate and occasion of morphological

changes remain unclear. The aim of this study is to offer new insights regarding flow-induced

morphological changes in meander using a novel study approach. We focused on short-term and

small-spatial-scale changes by conducting a spatially and temporally (daily) intensive survey during

a flood (a period of nine days) with an ADCP attached to a remotely controlled mini-boat. Based on

our analysis, the flood duration and the rate of discharge increase and decrease seems to play key

roles in determining channel changes by controlling the flow velocities and depth and the backwater

effect may have notable influence on the morphological processes. We discuss themes such as the

interaction of inner and outer bend processes and the longer-term development of meander bends.
