Book excerpt: The purpose of the investigation was to determine the magnitude of the junction loss at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers in order to insure the proper elevation of the levees located near the junction of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers in Kansas City, Kansas. Junction losses for the design flood, using methods developed by Taylor, were found to be 1.9 feet. Water surface profiles obtained during the 1951 and 1952 floods appear to substantiate this estimate. However, because of the critical location of the Kansas City levees, and the uncertainty of the prototype data, it was decided to verify the computations using a fixed-bed model. The purpose of the model study was to: (a) determine the magnitude of the loss; (b) develop a structure at the confluence which would be effective in reducing the magnitude of the junction loss; and (c) determine if structures installed in the navigation channel near the confluence would retard Kansas River design flows, and thus jeopardize the effectiveness of the Kansas River levees and floodwalls.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the tests and results of a model study conducted at the Mead Hydraulic Laboratory of the Kansas City Reach and the Kansas River Bend of the Missouri River. The study was performed by personnel of the Hydro-Sediment Section of the Omaha District, Corps of Engineers, under the general supervision of the Kansas City District and the Missouri River Division. Attempts to improve and control the Missouri River have been in progress for many years. Dikes, sills, and revetments of various arrangements have been constructed to control the overall river alignment and to insure a river channel of adequate depth and width to permit navigation. The channel alignment of the Missouri River between Sioux City, Iowa and its mouth at St. Louis, Missouri, has in general been established with the shape of each major bend controlled by a combination of spur dikes and bank revetments. However, many times problems still appear within this general alignment. Maintaining an adequate navigation channel through the Kansas City Reach and the Kansas River Bend is a typical problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lessons learned from this flood focus on the performance of the levees, governmental responses, the effects of flood fighting, change in stages due to levee breaches, flood modeling, and the lack of information dissemination to the public on the technical aspects of the flood. These lessons point out information gaps and the need for research in the areas of hydraulics and hydrology, meteorology, sediment transport and sedimentation, surface and ground-water interactions, water quality, and levees. The report presents a comprehensive summary of the 1993 flood as far as climate, hydrology, and hydraulics are concerned.
