Abstract;Currently it is in demand to create vegetated open channels. Using plants and rough stones are placed. Unfortunately, these measures multiply water resistance and change water depth andvelocity. Nevertheless, it is important to consider environmental preservation in riverimprovements and irrigation works. In this study, we suggest a new model to estimate the vegetative resistance from Reynolds equations. At the same time, we also analyze the bending of vegetation by modeling vegetative deformation as the finite deformation of cantilevers and coupled with flow. (author abst.)
