Further study is needed to understand the long-term effects of land cover changes on stream channels. Research is needed to develop more accurate empirical equations for estimating the effects of land cover changes. Studies of other river systems in the region could provide valuable comparisons and insights.

Future research should focus on combining different data sources and creating a model that understands vegetation–sediment–flow feedbacks, sediment sorting process, anthropogenic impacts and extreme climate change impacts on channel evolution.
