Vegetation in the floodplain plays an important role in dictating the hydraulics of an open channel river system. While vegetation is beneficial to the biological productivity of the river system, it can also increase flood risk due to increased channel roughness. Traditional means of predicting flow hydraulics involve applying a constant roughness value, while neglecting change in roughness due to flow characteristics and variation of vegetation parameters. The objective of this research was to develop and demonstrate techniques to hydraulically model an open channel river system while taking into account dynamic roughness due to vegetation. The Sedimentation and River Hydraulics in Two-Dimensions (SRH-2D) model was enhanced to use measured vegetation parameters to calculate dynamic Manning’s n values, referred to as effective n (ne) values, while simulating the hydraulics of the system. Two approaches based on work by Järvelä (2004) and Baptist et al. (2007) were implemented into SRH-2D for roughness computations. Field and modeling work focused on a section of a restoration area along the San Joaquin River near Fresno, California. Both approaches were modeled at four different channel discharges: 31.2, 70.8, 113.3, and 212.4 m 3 /s. A sensitivity analysis was also performed for both approaches at 113.3 m 3 /s for parameters of uncertainty. A wide range of calculated ne values showed that roughness is dependent
