Download or read book Erosion of Northern Reservoir Shores written by Daniel E. Lawson and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the current state of knowledge of northern reservoir shore erosion, primarily by examining the results of erosional studies on lakes, coasts and rivers. The major erosional processes of reservoir beaches and bluffs and their mechanics are discussed in detail. Thermal and physical parameters affecting the erodibilty of shores, the environmental impacts of erosion, and the basic characteristics of the unique reservoir environment are reviewed. Current models of shore zone development are also presented. This literature analysis revealed that knowledge of erosion and recession in northern impoundments is severely limited. Quantitative analyses of the processes of erosion and their relative importance, parameters determining the nature, rate and timing of erosion, and models to predict the erodibility of a shore for use in minimizing shoreline recession remain in need of basic field research. Originator supplied keywords: Cold regions, Erosion models, Freeze-thaw, Ground water, Ice cover, Lakes, Overland flow, Permafrost, Rates, Recession, Reservoirs, Shores, Slope movement, Water level, Waves.

Download or read book Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Missouri River main stem reservoirs in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, hydrodynamic processes have decreased the lengths of shorelines and changed their configurations during the first 20 to 25 years of impoundment. Physical changes to the shore probably influenced fish abundance and species composition by changing the quality and quantityt of spawning and nursery habitat.

Download or read book RESERVOIR BANK EROSION CAUSED AND INFLUENCED BY ICE COVER written by Lawrence W. Gatto and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the importance of reservoir bank erosion caused by an ice cover. The evaluation is based on a literature review and on inferences made from field observations and experience. Very little is known about the amount of reservoir band erosion caused by the actions of an ice cover, although considerable information is available on the processess of ice-related erosion along the shorelines or beaches of oceans, rivers or lakes. The importance of ice-related erosion along a reservoir bank seems to be determined primarily by water level. If the reservoir water level is high enough for ice to act directly on the bank face, the amount of erosin caused by ice could be substantial. If the water level is below the bank, ice would have no direct effect on it. However, ice could indirectly increase bank instability by disrupting and eroding nearshore and beach zones, which could lead to bank erosion. (Author).
Download or read book Erosion and Sedimentation Along a Cohesive Shoreline written by N. A. Rukavina and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The north shore of central parts of Lake Erie is retreating northwards at significant rates. Fortunately the shore is not heavily developed. Erosion causes physical problems for shore installations and because of the cohesive soils forming the north shore, standard or conventional control engineering techniques and analysis do not apply. Erosion products have a significant impact on lake water quality and sediment quality. Fine soil particles, attracts many undesirable chemical compounds which they carry with them to the bottom. High siltation rates continually bury the sediment. Erosion is therefore a factor in water quality. This study provides a comprehensive set of quantities and describes processes essential for lake management and in consequence gives sound consistent basic data for all nearshore studies"--Management perspective, p. iii.
