Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In connection with the MRC Potamology Program, movable-bed models studies were conducted of seven of the most complex and troublesome reaches of the Mississippi River to obtain some quick general indications of the effectiveness of plans proposed for the improvement and stabilization of those reaches. Because of the limited time available, the studies were conducted in an existing facility with little or no adjustment of the models and in some cases without a base test. Because of the limited size and shape of the facility available, only a relatively short reach of the river including the problem could be reproduced in each model with little or no overbank areas. The horizontal scales varied with each reach depending on its size and shape and were much smaller with a higher distortion of the linear scales than was considered desirable for studies of this type. An analysis of the model results compared with developments in the river based on an evaluation of considerable prototype data indicated that the types of models used predicted, at least qualitatively, most of the principal trends that actually occurred in the river with the plans tested. The degree of accuracy of the models varied and depended to a considerable extent on the model adjustment, characteristics of the reach, flow conditions, and similarity between plan tested and actual construction.

This book was released on 2008-02-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mississippi River is, in many ways, the nation's best known and most important river system. Mississippi River water quality is of paramount importance for sustaining the many uses of the river including drinking water, recreational and commercial activities, and support for the river's ecosystems and the environmental goods and services they provide. The Clean Water Act, passed by Congress in 1972, is the cornerstone of surface water quality protection in the United States, employing regulatory and nonregulatory measures designed to reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways. The Clean Water Act has reduced much pollution in the Mississippi River from "point sources" such as industries and water treatment plants, but problems stemming from urban runoff, agriculture, and other "non-point sources" have proven more difficult to address. This book concludes that too little coordination among the 10 states along the river has left the Mississippi River an "orphan" from a water quality monitoring and assessment perspective. Stronger leadership from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is needed to address these problems. Specifically, the EPA should establish a water quality data-sharing system for the length of the river, and work with the states to establish and achieve water quality standards. The Mississippi River corridor states also should be more proactive and cooperative in their water quality programs. For this effort, the EPA and the Mississippi River states should draw upon the lengthy experience of federal-interstate cooperation in managing water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to reanalyze the navigation and flood channels of the Mississippi River by examining the arguments leading up to the series of man-made cutoffs, discussing their construction and illustrating the response of the system to the cutoffs. Engineers in many countries have looked on the Mississippi River cutoff program as one of extreme success but in trying to duplicate river shortening on other rivers have often produced disastrous results. The delicate balance among the hydraulic and geomorphic factors that control river form and river flow is so complex that it is not well understood. It is necessary then that there be as complete an understanding as possible of the response of a river after a single cutoff or a series of cutoffs. (Author).
