Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Read what over 60 internationally recognized authors say about fluvial processes, the environment, and management of gravel-bed rivers. Learn about efforts to restore more-natural ecosystem functions to adversely impacted rivers. And for some mind-stretching, consider the hydraulic/geomorphic implications of cataclysmic floods on Earth and Mars. Beginning in 1980 and held at five-year intervals, these workshops have brought together leading international researchers to present and discuss new results, concepts and state-of-the-art methods to analyze fluvial processes in and manage gravel-bed rivers. The fourth workshop was held at Gold Bar, Washington, near the dynamic Skykomish River and strikingly beautiful Cascade Mountains. Workshop papers and discussions are published to document new concepts and ideas for broad use by those who study, manage or have general interests in rivers. This fourth Gravel-Bed Rivers Workshop covers three focus topics. The first topic reviews new developments regarding fluvial processes, sediment transport and channel morphology -- in eight chapters on distinct subjects. The second and third focus topics strongly emphasize gravel-beds rivers in the environment, their influences, and their management -- in the next 19 chapters. River restoration is examined for large European and North American rivers as parts of several of the environment-management chapters. Seven appended "short papers" report on research in progress, presented at the Workshop in a poster-discussion session. Also included are two special-interest chapters -- on giving a detailed analysis and morphologic/hydraulic interpretation of cataclysmic floods and one summarizing a field exercise in management options for a long braided-meandering reach of the Skykomish River near Gold Bar."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers currently regulates gravel-mining activities in Humboldt County, CA, under the authority described in Sec. 404 of the Clean Water Act. In order to better understand the effects gravel mining has had on the Mad River, the U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco, initiated this study to examine changes in channel morphology and bed elevation between 1971 and 2000. This study focused on existing cross section data and historic aerial photography from a variety of sources, and river sediment (bed-load and bed-material) data collected by the USGS. It also used new cross-section data collected in 2000 and gravel extraction records. This information was used to quantify geomorphic changes in the river, to establish a sediment budget, and to determine a sustainable yield for gravel extraction based on maintaining the river in an equilibrium condition.
Download or read book How Large Immobile Particles Impact Sediment Transport and Bed Morphology in Gravel Bed Rivers written by Christopher William McKie and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large particles can be deposited in natural stream channels as a result of failed erosion protection measures or geological deposits. The impacts these large particles have on the natural systems have been studied, however the previous literature that has been completed either has a very narrow scope applicable only to alpine rivers or are simplified and do not fully capture the processes that occur in a natural channel system. Additionally, the results often contradict each other, and give an unclear understanding of the effects these large particles have on bed morphology and sediment transport. This thesis utilizes a laboratory experiment to evaluate the effects that varying densities of large immobile particles in a gravel-bed channel have on sediment transport and bed morphology. The objective of this study is to gain further understanding and to consolidate existing literature to provide a more holistic overview of the effects of these large particles on a channel bed. It was expected that large immobile particles would cause an increase in channel roughness, and that the impacts to sediment transport and bed morphology would reflect this. The laboratory experiment consisted of 5 test cases with varying densities of large immobile particles, and one base case with no large particles present. In each case, the flume bed was composed of a poorly sorted gravel mixture with a bi-modal distribution of sand and gravel meant to be representative of a natural gravel-bed channel. The large particles were sized to be representative of common engineering principles by applying a factor of safety to a minimum stable particle size. Each experimental case consisted of a single hydrograph with continuous sediment input scaled to the flow rate. The results of the test cases and the base case proved that relating the large particle density to an increase in channel roughness was too simplistic to explain the trends found within this study. At low densities of large immobile particles, the transported material and the bed material both became coarser. At medium densities of large immobile particles, the bed material size and erosion reached a maximum, and the system also approached equal mobility. Finally, at high densities of large immobile particles, the size of transported material and bed material sizes were similar to that of the base case, and the sediment transport also had the strongest clockwise hysteresis trend. These results indicate the difficult of relating large immobile particle density to channel roughness to explain the effects on sediment transport and bed morphology. In an effort to provide a more holistic explanation, and to consolidate the existing literature, a more complex explanation was developed using the findings of previous research and relating it to the results found within this study. This complex model is made up of 3 main points: 1. Isolated large immobile particles create localized areas of increased erosive forces, and localized protected areas (Brayshaw et al., 1983). 2. At a narrow range of large immobile particle spacings, flow structures build upon each other and amplify their erosive forces (Tan and Curran, 2012). 3. Densely spaced large immobile particles causes high energy skimming flow that is able to create powerful eddies in gaps between the large particles (Hassan and Reid, 1990). This complex model explains the trends and results found within this study. Additionally, the results of this research were used to form the framework for predicting or understanding the impacts to a natural channel system caused by the introduction of large immobile material. Finally, the results of this study can be used to further research and develop design criteria for engineered in-channel structures to remedy imbalanced channel processes.
Download or read book Is the White Clay Creek a Threshold Channel written by Sophie Bodek and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gravel-bed rivers are often interpreted as equilibrium, near-threshold channels (Parker, 1979), where channel morphology is adjusted to transport the supply of coarse bed material with the given discharge. Theoretical analyses based on this concept predict bank sediments at the threshold of motion with bankfull Shield's stresses on the bed (based on the D50) slightly in excess of this threshold, such that the bed material is fully mobile at bankfull stage. Surveys of 12 sites around the White Clay Creek, however, provide observations that are inconsistent with this concept. Bedrock is exposed along the channel and the longitudinal profile is controlled by migrating knickpoints, suggesting that the slope is imposed by bedrock erosion. Moreover, 20-45% of the bed material is immobile at bankfull stage. These observations suggest an alternate hypothesis to threshold channel theory: immobile cobble-boulder bed material is supplied locally by colluvial processes and bedrock incision, with a throughput load of sand-pebble-sized sediment readily transported by the river that is primarily stored in bars rather than on the bed. An approximate threshold condition based on the D50 (or Dm as used in this study) of the streambed arises by averaging the grain size distribution over the immobile bed material and the finer throughput load, but this averaged bankfull Shield's stress does not provide a useful measure of the mobility of all size fractions on the bed. These observations suggest that the channel morphology of the study site is decoupled from the sediment supply, and that the White Clay Creek should not be considered an equilibrium, near-threshold channel. To test this hypothesis, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags were attached to 56 clasts in a 100m reach. The RFID tags were installed with the gravel in situ on the bed at randomized locations in the channel; the distribution of tagged grains mirrors the grain size distribution of the bed. Since the deployment of tagged clasts was completed in July 2019, nine surveys have been accomplished and four significant flow events have occurred with the gage height reaching at least 2/3 of bankfull stage. Following the highest flow event, where the gage height reached 92% of bankfull stage, 41% of tagged gravel remained in place, supporting the hypothesis. Numerical modeling of channel morphology and grain size distribution under a variety of sediment supply scenarios indicates that channels with non-alluvial characteristics are insensitive to changes in supply, where the sediment load could be increased up to 1 to 2 times the current conditions before the channel reached an alluvial state. Thus, coarse sediment supply can be increased significantly without causing commensurate changes in channel morphology.
