Water and Sediment Yield in the Tucannon River
A site specific model for water and sediment yield was developed to estimate water quality aspects of the Tucannon River Basin. In this paper, the relation of water and sediment yield...
Evaluation and Testing of Storm-Event Hydrologic Models
Hydrologic models considered for this evaluation include: Areal Nonpoint Source Watershed Environmental Response Simulation (ANSWERS); a kinematic erosion model (KINEROS); Watershed and...
Mathematical Modeling of Delta Deposits and Retrogressive Erosion in Reservoirs
A hybrid computer model which simulates mainly delta deposition and retrogressive erosion in reservoirs is described. Basic equations that govern the flow and bed changes used in the model...
The Life and Science of R. A. Bagnold
The purpose of this paper is to highlight and honor the exciting life and many significant contributions made by Brigadier Ralph A. Bagnold to our understanding of hydraulics and sediment...
Flow and Quality Simulation of a Proposed Marina Development
A proposed off-channel marina development on the Sacramento River in California requires landfill in an area that is currently within the flood plain. Two dimensional computer models for...
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sedimentation Engineer Manual A. Overview
Until the 1970's, sediment analyses within the Corps of Engineers were mostly confined to estimates of the reservoir sediment storage needed, for the life of the project....
Corps of Engineers EM 1110-2-4000 Chapter 3?Sediment Yield
This paper overviews the chapter on sediment yield, one of the three technical chapters of this new design manual. Corps methods to determine sediment yield primarily feature the use of...
River Sedimentation
This paper discusses Chapter 4 of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Manual of Sedimentation Engineering. The chapter identifies potential river sedimentation problems, associates...
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sedimentation Engineering Manual D. Reservoir Sedimentation
This paper discusses Chapter 5, Reservoir Sedimentation, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering Manual (EM) on Sedimentation Engineering, EM 1110-2-4000. The chapter...
Processes of Meander Bend Migration
The flow pattern in a meander bend is described in terms of the primary flow, secondary flow, and cross-stream flow. Secondary flow which is normal to the primary flow contributes to lateral...
Predicting Channel Recovery from Sand and Gravel Extraction in the Naugatuck River and Adjacent Floodplain
Gravel extraction at five sites along the Naugatuck River in Connecticut is of sufficient magnitude that channel recovery to pre-mining morphology is expected to require up to several...
Monitoring Water Quality: Neches Estuary, Texas
A continuous monitoring project has been established in the Neches Estuary of Southeast Texas, for the purpose of investigating the influence of tidal hydraulic on sedimentation in a floating...
Morphologic and Hydraulic Adjustments of Red River from Shreveport, LA to Fulton, AK, between 1886 and 1980
Morphometric data (channel width and depth and slope) from 4 hydrographic surveys of Red River (1886, 1938, 1968, 1980) from Shreveport to Fulton and specific-gage analyses for the gages...
The BRANCH Model and the Segara Anakan Study
The Lower Citanduy Irrigation Project in Central Java, Indonesia drains through the estuary called Segara Anakan. Due to sediment accretion, the lagoon is filling. With erosion problems,...
The Effects of Sediment Transportation Changes on Aquatic Habitat
Sediments are a natural part of the riverine and estuarine environment. However, if the sediment load changes or bed sediment type occur, direct and sometimes detrimental and sometimes...
Sedimentation and Water Quality in TVA's Ocoee Reservoirs
This paper reviews and summarizes sedimentation and water quality characteristics of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) three Ocoee Reservoirs located in Polk County in...
Sedimentation Problems of the Illinois River Valley
Natural and manmade factors have drastically changed the character of the river and resulted in the accelerated deposition of sediments all along the entire river valley. The Illinois...
Fine Contaminated Sediment Erosion/Deposition in the Buffalo River, New York
This paper documents part of a project which sought to characterize sediment transport in the Buffalo River as a contribution toward planning for dredging or in-place containment of the...
Sediment Survey of Lake Powell
The 1986 Lake Powell Sediment Survey documented the present storage-elevation relationship and loss of storage from sediment accumulation since the reservoir began filling. From the calculated...
Sediment Variability Mark Twain Lake, Missouri
This paper looks at the historical variability in suspended sediment loads in the Upper Salt River Basin above Mark Twain Lake, Missouri in an attempt to assess the magnitude of suspended...
