Book Synopsis Suspended Sediment and Bed Material Studies on the Lower Mississippi River by : Lamont G. Robbins
Download or read book Suspended Sediment and Bed Material Studies on the Lower Mississippi River written by Lamont G. Robbins and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate purpose of sediment studies is to develop a workable knowledge of the basic principles controlling the transport of sediment in the Lower Mississippi River and to apply this knowledge toward effective and economical stabilization works for flood control and navigation. The more immediate purpose of this report, however, is to present the data that have been collected and analyzed to date (1929-1974) and to show what trends exist in the quantities and sizes of suspended and bed sediments for the Vicksburg District.

Book excerpt: The Lower Mississippi River, extending from Cairo, Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico, annually transports approximately 170 million tonnes of sediment. Historically, the quantity and calibre of sediment derived from catchment erosion have been affected by changes in land-use and management. For example, soil erosion increased during the 19th and early 20th centuries due to settlement by Europeans and this may have elevated catchment sediment supply to the Mississippi River, while more recently the supply of sediment from tributaries is known to have decreased markedly as a result of river engineering and management. Specifically, the construction of large dams as part of the Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR & T) Project has trapped sediment that would otherwise have been supplied to the Mississippi, particularly by the Missouri River. Marked changes have also occurred in the extent of eroding bankline along the Mississippi and these must have reduced the input of sediment derived from this source. For example, during the last three decades, a sustained construction program of bank revetments and dikes has produced a stable alignment. Given these trends in sediment supply from catchment, tributary and bank sources, it is not surprising that most studies of sediment movement report a large decrease in measured sediment loads at selected monitoring stations along the Mississippi River over the last 50 years (Kesel, 1988; Dardeau and Causey, 1990). However, a case can be made that the bed material load must have increased since the 1940s. This argument is based on analysis of morphological changes observed along the river that have led to an overall increase in slope and available stream power, coupled with the fact that bed material sizes along the river have remained almost constant.

Download or read book Large Rivers written by Avijit Gupta and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated treatment of management and geomorphology of large rivers around the world The newly revised Second Edition of Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management delivers a thoroughly updated exploration of the form and function of major rivers. The book brings together a set of papers on the large rivers of the world, offering readers an insightful examination of a demanding subject. The new Second Edition of the book includes fully updated and revised chapters, as well as two entirely new chapters on the Ayeyarwady and the Arctic rivers. This fascinating volume describes the environmental requirements for creating and maintaining a major river system, case studies on over a dozen large rivers from different continents in a variety of physical environments, and the measurement and management of large rivers. Unmatched in scope, Large Rivers sheds light on a subject lacking in comprehensive study. Readers will benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to the geology of large river systems, hydrology and discharge, transcontinental moving and storage of sediment, and the greatest floods and largest rivers An exploration of the classification, architecture, and evolution of large-river deltas Discussions of sedimentology and stratigraphy of large river deposits, including their recognition in the ancient record and the distinction from incised valley fills An examination of the effects of tectonism, climate change, and sea-level change on the form and behavior of the modern Amazon river and its floodplain Measurement and management of large rivers The effect of climatic change on large rivers Perfect for postgraduate students and researchers in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, sedimentary geology, and river management, Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management will also earn a place in the libraries of engineers and environmental consultants in the private and public sectors working on major rivers around the world.
Book Synopsis Man-made Cutoffs on the Lower Mississippi River, Conception, Construction and River Response by : Brien R. Winkley
Download or read book Man-made Cutoffs on the Lower Mississippi River, Conception, Construction and River Response written by Brien R. Winkley and published by . 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).
