100 Years of Sedimentation Study by the USGS
On January 15, 1889, the U.S. Geological Survey began collecting sediment data on the Rio Grande at Embudo, New Mexico. During the past 100 years the U.S. Geological Survey's...

History of the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project
Since 1939, the date of the Project's inception, the team has operated under the direction of two lead agencies - the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers....

Method to Predict Cropland Ephemeral Gully Erosion
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has developed a microcomputer program to provide estimates of the average annual material...

An Overview of Computer Stream Sedimentation Models
This paper discuss some of the author's experience in computer modeling of stream sedimentation problems. Comparisons of twelve selected models developed and implemented in...

Areal Sampling Techniques
Three areal methods, commonly used for sampling the coarser surface layer of gravel-bed streams, are examined. An idealized sediment deposit, that consists of cubic particles and accounts...

Sediment Transport Modelling from Grain Size Data
Grain-size analysis can be useful in determining some of the hydrodynamic aspects of the evolution of a natural sand body. The suite statistics approach minimizes single-sample anomalies...

Highly Concentrated Sediment Loads of the Yellow River
A set of high concentration data for the Yellow River in China is examined and compared with low concentration data and laboratory experimental results....

Suspended Sediment Regression Model on Mud Coasts
Two statistical models of the concentration of suspended sediment on mud coasts have been developed by using the stepwise regression method. The statistical analysis in this paper is based...

Limitations of Modeling High Concentration Streams
Following the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, high sediment concentrations caused rapid deposition and increased flood hazards along the Cowlitz River. The Corps of Engineers developed...

On the Coexistence of Bedload and Suspended Transport for a Uniform Grainsize Material
A sensitivity analysis and an experimental verification have been made to assess the validity of the equations that describe the sediment transport in non-equilibrium conditions, when...

Bank Failure and Erosion on the Illinois Waterway
In 1988, bank failure and erosion on the Illinois Waterway were evaluated. Banks were inspected from the air and from a motor vessel; thirty-one sites were examined in detail. Severe erosion...

Exceedance of Allowable Velocity in Bank Stability
The authors have developed a method to account for flow duration in the application of the allowable velocity method through comparison with observed bank instabilities on a river system....

Sediment Transport Modeling Considerations
In addition to understanding the theory and concepts of mathematical modeling, the engineer or scientist must also have knowledge of the river to be studied, the available data, and the...

ASCE Task Committee on Analysis of Laboratory and Field Sediment Data Accuracy and availability
Alluvial channel observations for laboratory and field conditions have been collected throughout the twentieth century. These data have not been adequately evaluated as to accuracy or...

Task Committee on Analysis of Laboratory and Field Sediment Data Accuracy and Availability
One of the main purposes of the ASCE Task Committee on Analysis of Laboratory and Field Sediment Data Accuracy and Availability is to assemble worldwide sedimentation data from field and...

Criteria for a Sediment Data Set
The transport of sediment through a hydrologic system or basin is an extremely complex phenomenon. Many factors affect this movement. Criteria are established for an 'ultimate' or complete...

Field Data Collection and Analysis of Hyperconcentrations and Mud Flows
Hyperconcentrated flows and mud flows exhibit properties quite dissimilar from Newtonian fluids. In order to further our understanding of such phenomena, field data have been collected...

Settling Basin Model for the Personal Computer
The SETSIZE program, models sediment deposition in a settling basin. The program can be applied to determine the length of time until dredging or cleaning is necessary or solve for an...

A Watershed Model of Sediment Transport?Load-I
A watershed sediment transport model has been formulated and optimized upon storm hydrographs and the associated sediment load data for several watersheds that have been urbanized and...

A Computer Model for Gravel Pit Headcut Simulation
Sand and gravel mining activities have led to numerous problems in river management. A review of many complaints on sand and gravel mining indicates that the major concern is structural...
