Effects of Vegetation on Hydraulic Roughness and Sedimentation in Wetlands

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: The calculation of Manning n values has been of interest since the Manning equation was presented in the late 1800s (Henderson, 1966). While estimation of n vahm for normal channels has been fairly well standardized, the estimation of n values in areas of dense vegetation continues to be subject to large variations depending on the experience of the engineer and the perceived density of the vegetation. Flow resistance and sedimentation in bulrush environments is important in design of constructed wetlands, flood routing through existing wetlands, and determination of flood heights for flood damage studies.

متن کاملExperimental Study on Wetland Hydraulic Characteristics of Vegetated Drainage Ditches
Small vegetated drainage ditches play an important role in water and nutrient removal, but may cause water blocking problems. The aim of this study was to investigate vegetated drainage ditches’ hydraulic and wetland hydraulic characters. Field experiment were carried out, small drainage ditches with Juncus, Zizania latifolia, and Acorus calamus were selected under different water flows, and a ...
متن کاملHydrology, geomorphology, and vegetation of Coastal Plain rivers in the southeastern United States
Rivers of the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States are characteristically low-gradient meandering systems that develop broad floodplains subjected to frequent and prolonged flooding. These floodplains support a relatively unique forested wetland (Bottomland Hardwoods), which have received considerable ecological study, but distinctly less hydrogeomorphic study. The hydroperiod, or an...

For past so many years wetlands have served functions like providing habitat for aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals, for recreational activities and for treatment of polluted water. Both natural and constructed wetlands gave been used for treatment for wastewater from sewage, septic tanks, agricultural activities, industries, landfills and highways, etc. Treatment of wastewater in a wet...
متن کاملTracer behaviour and analysis of hydraulics in experimental free watersurface wetlands
Effects of inlet design and vegetation type on tracer dynamics and hydraulic performance were investigated using lithium chloride in eighteen experimental free water surface wetlands. The wetlands received similar water flow but had different vegetation types: 6 emergent vegetation wetlands (EVWs), 6 submerged vegetation wetlands (SVWs) and 6 free development wetlands (FDWs). Two types of inlet...
