This book was released on 1984 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides guidance for incorporating environmental considerations into streambank protection projects. The stability of the stream-banks of a channel is related to both site-specific and basinwide stream reach factors. Streambank erosion or failure is a natural fluvial process that is often accelerated by changes in gotechnical or hydraulic factors and especially the activities of man, e.g., reservoir construction or land use changes. Streambank protection projects stabilize the streambank, preventing or stopping erosion. Stabilization results in a range of environmental changes. An information review was performed to identify environmental features for streambank protection projects. Environmental features are those planning, design, construction, and maintenance procedures or practices that minimize adverse environmental impacts or enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitas and the aesthetic quality of land and water associated with streambank protection projects. Such features include structural and nonstructural designs; construction procedures that are environmentally compatible; maintenance procedures; and institutional, planning, and management approaches for streambank protection projects. Each feature discussed in terms of concept, the purpose or appropriate use of the feature, environmental considerations, limitations to use of the feature, performance history, and cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition (1994) there have been rapid developments in the application of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology to stream management. In particular, growth has occurred in the areas of stream rehabilitation and the evaluation of environmental flow needs. The concept of stream health has been adopted as a way of assessing stream resources and setting management goals. Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists Second Edition documents recent research and practice in these areas. Chapters provide information on sampling, field techniques, stream analysis, the hydrodynamics of moving water, channel form, sediment transport and commonly used statistical methods such as flow duration and flood frequency analysis. Methods are presented from engineering hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and hydraulics with examples of their biological implications. This book demonstrates how these fields are linked and utilised in modern, scientific river management. * Emphasis on applications, from collecting and analysing field measurements to using data and tools in stream management. * Updated to include new sections on environmental flows, rehabilitation, measuring stream health and stream classification. * Critical reviews of the successes and failures of implementation. * Revised and updated windows-based AQUAPAK software. This book is essential reading for 2nd/3rd year undergraduates and postgraduates of hydrology, stream ecology and fisheries science in Departments of Physical Geography, Biology, Environmental Science, Landscape Ecology, Environmental Engineering and Limnology. It would be valuable reading for professionals working in stream ecology, fisheries science and habitat management, environmental consultants and engineers.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess various measures to provide streambank protection along the left descending (i.e., north) bank of the South Raccoon River in Dallas County, Iowa. A water pipe, which conveys domestic water to Stuart, Iowa, in neighboring Guthrie County, underlies the riverbank and riverbed and is being threatened by bank erosion. Concrete-Filled Mattress, Riprap Protection, and No Action were considered as alternatives to control the erosion at the study site. Of these alternatives, Riprap Protections was chosen as the selected plan because of its lower construction cost and because it was more environmentally sound. The selected plan entails grading and shaping 150 linear feet of the eroded riverbank (75 feet on either side of the buried water line) to provide a uniform slope of 1V on 2H, and placing an 18-inch layer of Iowa Class D riprap as shown on plates 2 and 3. An estimated 600 tons (i.e., 400 cubic yards) of graded riprap is needed to construct the streambank protection project. Approximately 142 cubic yards of material will be placed below the ordinary high water elevation of 901.5 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). An environmental review of the proposed action indicates that the proposed project would not result in significant effects on the environment. Therefore, an environment impact statement will not be prepared. (fr).
