Nebraska's Shrinking Platte River Channel: Hydrologic Aspects and Implications
Biologists have proposed two hypotheses to explain recent channel narrowing and vegetative growth in flood plain habitat areas along the Platte River in Nebraska. One group contends, without...
Forecasting and Warning for Mt. St. Helens Streams
The eruption of Mt. St. Helens in southern Washington on May 18, 1980, created great devastation both by the blast itself and by mudflows generated by melting snow and ice. Several hydrologic...
Sedimentation in Small Hydropower Reservoirs
Small-scale hydropower projects, which usually include reservoirs of limited size, may inherently incorporate severe sedimentation problems. The ratio of reservoir volume to sediment inflow...
Research in Hydraulics at California Institute of Technology
Activities are centered in the W. M. Keck Laboratory of Hydraulics and Water Resources. Research projects active at the Laboratory reflect a continuing commitment to traditional areas...
Current Research in Hydraulics at the Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station
Ongoing activities in hydraulics research at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station are described. The various areas in which research is under way are enumerated. Activities...
Sedimentation Consolidation Models?Predictions and Validation
In very soft sediments, questions have arisen concerning the capability of standard computational techniques used to implement calculations. The problems mainly lie in the manner in which...
Measurement of Hydrographic Parameters in Large Sand-Bed Streams from Boats
This report concentrates on the state-of-the-art in the field documentation of the existing channel geometry, plus the concurrent stream flow and sediment transport characteristics, prevailing...
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
The Journal of Hydraulic Engineering accepts original contributions that describe the analysis and solutions of problems in hydraulic engineering. Technical Notes may present a problem, without solution,...
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
The Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering presents information regarding the engineering aspects of dredging, floods, ice, pollution, sediment transport, and tidal wave action that...
Classic Papers in Hydraulics
Fourteen papers representing basic contributions which made possible rapid advances in analytical techniques in hydraulic engineering are presented. The papers reflect state-of-the-art-...
Applying Research to Hydraulic Practice
Approximately 75 of the papers presented at the 1982 ASCE Hydraulics Division Specialty Conference in Jackson, Mississippi are included in this publication. The papers examine many aspects...
Coastal Controversies Abound at Record-Breaking Conclave
Coastal Zone '78 was the largest specialty conference ever held by the ASCE, drawing over 1,000 participants from a wide spectrum of professions that are involved in coastal...
Corps Developing Wildlife Habitat to Solve Disposal Problems
The large volume of sediments dredged each year by the Corps of Engineers from navigable waterways can be considered a resource instead of a waste product, and used as a substrate for...
Channel Siltation Determined with Side-Scan Radar
Of the new electronic means to measure water depth, side-scan sonar is unusual in that it gives not just a cross-section of the bottom but a semi-3-D picture of the bottom surface. Experienced...
Sediment Runoff During Highway Construction
Hydrologic data have been collected from several small streams below a highway construction project. The data have been gathered to determine the magnitude of the highway construction-sediment...
Controlling Runoff from Construction Sites
In recent years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a number of states have been placing increased emphasis on controlling erosion and sediment-laden runoff from construction...
