Book excerpt: This process-oriented study was organized to investigate three complementary aspects of channel stability including: (a) the nature of channel failure processes; (b) the influences of valley-fill depositional units on these processes; and (c) the properties and distributions of the valley-fill units. The study included the near-surface geologic investigation, investigation of the late-Quaternary valley-fill deposits, and channel morphometric investigations. The properties and distributions of the valley-fill units directly and indirectly influence the nature of channel failure processes. Although gravity-induced failure is the most frequent form of present-day bank instability, the type of gravity failure is dependent upon the properties of the valley-fill units. Both depositional and weathering properties influence the type of failure. The valley-fill units indirectly influence bank stability through their control of groundwater movement and the development of unusually large seepage forces at point-locations along the channels. Bed instability has primarily resulted from upstream migration of knickpoints and the rate of knickpoint migration has been affected by (valley-fill) unit controls. Present drainage systems in the study area are immature; channel morphometry has not adjusted at this time to the new flow regime resultant from cultural and natural changes.

Book excerpt: Since effective streambank protection measures are costly to install, a determined effort should be made to use vegetation because it is the most readily available material and is relatively inexpensive to obtain. Vegetation greatly reduces the hydraulic forces on the bank and provides other esthetic and environmental advantages over other methods of stabilization. This report describes a series of streambank vegetative studies located on the channels of Johnson, Goodwin and Peters Creek in Panola County near Batesville, Mississippi. On Johnson Creek, there are four sites; two of them use vegetation in conjunction with bank shaping and structural materials, the other two sites use vegetation in conjunction with structural devices without bank shaping. The site of Goodwin Creek uses vegetation in conjunction with bank shaping--with and without structural materials. The Peters Creek sites use woody vegetation in conjunction with structural devices without bank shaping. Criteria used in the design of the combined vegetative and structural projects are presented along with a detailed description of the project sites. Since these type studies require several years to evaluate, only preliminary results are presented and many of them are based on previous experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let the Water Do the Work is an important contribution to riparian restoration. By "thinking like a creek," one can harness the regenerative power of floods to reshape stream banks and rebuild floodplains along gullied stream channels. Induced Meandering is an artful blend of the natural sciences - geomorphology, hydrology and ecology - which govern channel forming processes. Induced Meandering directly challenges the dominant paradigm of river and creek stabilization by promoting the intentional erosion of selected banks while fostering deposition of eroded materials on an evolving floodplain. The river self-heals as the growth of native riparian vegetation accelerates the meandering process. Not all stream channel types are appropriate for Induced Meandering, yet the Induced Meandering philosophy of "going with the flow" can inform all stream restoration projects. Induced meandering strives to understand rivers as timeless entities governed by immutable rules serving their watersheds, setting their own timetables, and coping with their own realities as they carry mountains grain by grain to the sea. Anyone with an interest in natural resource management in these uncertain times should read this book and put these ideas to work.

Download or read book River Dynamics written by Bruce L. Rhoads and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data gathered to document the stability of streams at 103 sites in different regions of the United States where stream channels were relocated for the purposes of highway construction indicate varied responses. In comparison with prior stream stability, bank erosion of the relocated channel was the same at 45 sites, better at 28 sites, and worse at 14 sites. Channel degradation, mostly minor, was discerned at 17 sites. Length of relocation contributed significantly to channel stability only at sites where its value exceeded 250 channel widths; below 100 channel widths, the effects were dominated by other factors. Among the factors identified as critical to the stability of relocated channels are: growth of vegetation on banks (40 sites); bank revetment (33 sites); and stability of prior channel (19 sites). Factors identified as critical to instability are: bends in the channel (21 sites); erodibility of bed-bank materials (16 sites); and instability of prior channel (8 sites).

Download or read book The Fluvial System written by Stanley Alfred Schumm and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977, this is a classic of the geomorphology literature. Erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment within river catchments concern a wide range of earth scientists and profoundly affect land management. Upland soil removal engages the attention of soil conservationists, hydraulic engineers deal with fluvial sediment transport and river channel morphology, and patterns of sediment deposition in riverine and coastal lowlands affect navigability, the habitability of valley floors and the distribution of groundwater and minerals. The author argues persuasively that fluvial geomorphology, sedimentology and stratigraphy provide insights into each of these components of the river basin. "This volume, with its generous illustrations will be welcomed by earth scientists generally. It fills an important niche in the fluvial literature and its lucid style and clear exposition place it well within the range of students in any form of higher education." Nature "As a synthesis of the fluvial system and its effects on the landscape, as a primer in fluvial geomorphology and sedimentation for the planner, engineer and economic geologist, and as a stimulator of geomorphic thought, this book is most valuable." American Scientist Dr. Schumm is an internationally recognized geomorphologist who has published 150 papers and authored and edited 11 books. His primary experience has been in the investigation and analysis of fluvial systems. He has applied the concepts of geomorphology, fluvial hydraulics and geology to analyze alluvial river form and shape, sediment transport and effects of man-induced changes on river systems throughout the United States and in numerous foreign countries. He has also been involved in the interpretation of lunar and Martian landforms. Dr. Schumm is a past Chairman of the Geopmorphology Division of the Geological Society of America, has served on technical and committees of the National Research Council, the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, International Geographic Union, the National Science Foundation and NASA. He has performed research, lectured and advised government agencies around the world.
