River bed sand and gravel are utilized more than mountain materials due to their availability and closeness to the transit roads and sites of usage. Excessive and non-technical extraction of gravel and sand bring a kind of interference in them, leading to many negative consequences. Therefore, presenting solutions to reduce these impacts and infilling mining pits are essential. In this researc...

[1] We report the first laboratory simulations of hyporheic exchange in gravel pool-riffle channels, which are characterized by coarse sediment, steep slopes, and three-dimensional bed forms that strongly influence surface flow. These channels are particularly important habitat for salmonids, many of which are currently at risk worldwide and which incubate their offspring within the hyporheic z...

[1] A series of flume experiments were conducted to study the effect of bed form dynamics on the flow over a gravel bed comprising a wide distribution of grain sizes. Instantaneous high‐frequency streamwise flow velocities were sampled using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter at a frequency of 200 Hz, while the simultaneous bed elevations were sampled using sonar transducers at a frequency of 0.2 ...

Sediment routing in gravel-bed rivers refers to the intermittent transport and storage of bedload particles, where short-duration steps are separated by periods of inactivity. Channel morphology governs sediment routing, but morphologic effects on routing in headwater systems are not well understood compared to lowland systems. RFID tracers are a valuable tool that can be employed to characteri...

Erosion and entrainment of material by debris flows determine debris-flow volume growth therefore hazard potential. Recent advances in field, laboratory, modelling studies have distilled two driving forces behind erosion; impact shear forces. A third factor influencing the (relative) importance these is viscosity abundance interstitial fluid flow bed. However, how erosion depend on composition ...

no-bahar watershed is located, south of khorasan razavi province. geologically, the study area is a part of central iran zone. the rock units are late mesozoic and cenozoic in age in this watershed. no-babhar watershed includes several channels, which among them, only two main channels, motr-abad and solh-abad, have been studied. these rivers are mostly, braided channel in style, with high grad...

An experiment with different filter beds and macrophytes was carried out to study their phytoremediation capacity on the efficiency of domestic wastewater treatment through constructed wetland (CW) from November March 2017-18 at University Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad campus, Karnataka. Twenty combinations involving five types (FB-1: gravel, FB-2: gravel-sand-gravel, FB-3: gavel-sand-brick-gr...
