This book was released on 1986 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dikes are used extensively on large, meandering rivers to help maintain navigation channels. Dike fields alter flow velocities and sedimentation patterns, thereby affecting river morphology and the amount and quality of aquatic habitat. Some investigators have theorized that sedimentation induced by the dike fields constructed on the lower Mississippi, largely since 1960, is altering river morphology and aquatic hatibat in a manner similar to the changes that have been observed in the lower Missouri. Others are of the opinion that dike fields on the lower Mississippi do not typically fill completely with sediment, and the pools they contain have increased the amount of slack-water habitat. Low-water photographs taken in 1962 and 1976 and comprehensive hydrographic surveys done in 1962-64 and 1974-75 were used to measure morphologic changes in diked and undiked reaches. River surface area between river miles 320 and 954 was classified as main channel, secondary channel, slough, chute, or pool. The 1962 and 1976 areas in each category were measured from the photographs. River stage at time of photography averaged about 2 ft (0.6 m) lower in 1976, so 1976 measurements were adjusted for stage differential, based on width mesurements taken from the hydrogaphic surveys. Results were summarized for diked and undiked reaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of the historical geomorphology of the Middle Mississippi River was made to determine the physical impact of river contraction works on river morphology and behavior, and subsequent effects on the side channels. The studies included physical model studies of the river and side channels, the combined effects of navigation improvement structures and flood protection works on flood stages, and a review of the history of development and modification of the Middle Mississippi River.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of pertinent research, suggests that dikes and revetments have short-term and long-term effects on major riverine ecosystems. Short-term effects may be beneficial and include increases in aquatic habitat diversity physical stability which, in turn, results in high densities and diversities of fish and macroinvertebrates within the main stem of the river. Dike fields are intermediate physically, chemically, and biologically to the main channel and backwaters of rivers. Dike fields often support the most diverse fish and macroinvertebrate community of any habitat within the river. But community composition is less stable than backwaters and is dependent upon river stage and water velocity. Moderate and slow-water areas within dike fields provide important spawning and nursery areas for many lotic species of fish within the modified river. Revetments of broken rock stabilize banks and provide additional hard substrate for colonization by dense populations of invertebrates. Interstitial spaces between rocks may provide areas of moderate flow for juvenile and forage fish. Long-term effects of river training structures may be detrimental to the biotic integrity of the river.
