Effect of Aquatic Weeds on Velocity Profile Changes and Island Formation
نویسنده
چکیده
The existence of aquatic weeds in waterways causes several major problems. Some of them are the obstruction of water flow and navigation, island formation, increase of water losses due to evapotranspiration, and difficulty of water arrival to canal ends. This paper aims to discuss the resulting velocity profile changes due to aquatic weeds. Also, it examines the effect of such weeds on the channel morphology. It is concluded that aquatic weed presence in waterways has significant effects on both water velocity profile and channel morphology. The resulting morphological changes eventually cause island formation.

Study on age-related bioaccumulation of some heavy metals in the soft tissue of rock oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) from Laft Port – Qeshm Island, Iran
Heavy metals widely enter into aquatic ecosystems, and cause various environmental problems due to bioaccumulation and biomagnification in food chains. The accumulation of heavy metals in bivalve tissues is affected by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as physiological conditions, growth, seasonal changes, pH, salinity, temperature, genera and age. The present study investigated ...
متن کاملQuantifying Water Flow within Aquatic Ecosystems Using Load Cell Sensors: A Profile of Currents Experienced by Coral Reef Organisms around Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Current velocity in aquatic environments has major implications for the diversity, abundance and ecology of aquatic organisms, but quantifying these currents has proven difficult. This study utilises a simple and inexpensive instrument (<$150) to provide a detailed current velocity profile of the coral-reef system around Lizard Island (Great Barrier Reef, Australia) at a spatial and temporal sc...
متن کاملEffect of Crest Roughness on Flow Characteristics over Circular Weirs
Different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures. In the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. The flow hydraulics incl...
