This book was released on 1985 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many negative environmental impacts can be avoided by designing flood channels that are in harmony with other fluvial components, minimizing disruptions to existing fluvial and biological systems, and incorporating environmental features into flood channel design. Environmental features are defined as any structures or actions employed in the planning, design, construction, or maintenance of flood control channels that produce environmental benefits. Environmental features may include modifications of standard techniques, such as selective clearing and snagging or single bank construction; modified channel designs, such as low flow channels, pools and riffles, and meandering alignments; structures for erosion and sediment control, water level management, and instream habitat; inclusion of recreational features in project design; and special designs and treatments for aesthetic purposes. Procedures are presented for the design of environmental features. These procedures are based largely on prior experience with the use of environmental features on modified channels and on fluvial processes and natural stream geometry. Tables are provided to help select the best environmental features based on environmental objectives and stream and watershed conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents and documents preliminary findings of an information review performed to develop environmental guidance for flood-control projects that involve modification of natural stream channels by clearing and snagging, alignment, enlargement, and lining. The response of the fluvial system to modification sometimes results in unintentional or unforeseen environmental impacts. In general, channel modification results in a shorter, smoother, more uniform channel with larger cross-sectional area and less natural vegetation. Overbank flooding is eliminated or reduced, and depths and velocities are changed at all flows. Since extreme channel instability has adverse effects on ecological and aesthetic resources, channel straightening should be minimized. The channel cross section should be designed for low as well as high flows; the existing velocity-versus-discharge relationship should be preserved as much as possible at low an intermediate flows to maintain the sediment transport characteristics of the existing channel. Environmental features have been found to have limited effectiveness unless the modified channel is reasonably stable, the project area is protected against further modification, and construction and maintenance work is closely supervised and inspected.
