Sediment Transport Dynamics in River Networks Induced by Water Diversion
A river network is a typical completely open system formed by interconnected river channels. The interactions between the imports of a river (water and sediment) and the channel will cause the change of the channel patterns. This is actually a feedback between the erosion and the sedimentation states of the channel via an adjustment of the sedimentcarrying capability of the stream. This feedbac...
متن کاملCauses for the decline of suspended-sediment discharge in the Mississippi River system, 1940-2007
Before 1900, the Missouri–Mississippi River system transported an estimated 400 million metric tons per year of sediment from the interior of the United States to coastal Louisiana. During the last two decades (1987–2006), this transport has averaged 145 million metric tons per year. The cause for this substantial decrease in sediment has been attributed to the trapping characteristics of dams ...
متن کاملANN-based sediment yield models for Vamsadhara river basin (India)
Most universally accepted feed-forward error back-propagation artificial neural network models, supported by batchand pattern-learning, daily, weekly, ten-daily and monthly sediment yield were developed for the Vamsadhara River basin of India. The fast gradient descent optimisation technique improved with variable learning rate (α) and momentum term (β) was used for optimisation. In the process...
متن کاملA new river sediment standard reference material.
The collection, processing and certification of a new sediment Standard Reference Material (SRM), SRM 2704, is described. Collected from the bottom of the Buffalo River in New York State during the fall of 1986, SRM 2704 is certified for 25 elements with information provided on another 22 elements. Improvements in analytical methods as well as the application of well-defined quality-control pro...
متن کاملAssessment of Suspended Sand Availability under Different Flow Conditions of the Lowermost Mississippi River at Tarbert Landing during 1973–2013
Rapid land loss in the Mississippi River Delta Plain has led to intensive efforts by state and federal agencies for finding solutions in coastal land restoration in the past decade. One of the proposed solutions includes diversion of the Mississippi River water into drowning wetland areas. Although a few recent studies have investigated flow-sediment relationships in the Lowermost Mississippi R...
