Comparison of historic channel migration rates, modern planform conditions, and overall sediment, wood, and flow conditions and interactions for the Quinault River and Queets River in the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington, reveals decadalto century-scale interactions between gravel-bed channels and forested flood plains in temperate maritime environments. The downstream alluvial portions of...

abstract ground water flow and skin is the most important phenomenon in the process streams are involved not only in the face of the whole earth, but also of the life of man on earth can. degradation of coastal erosion, lateral stability and continuity in iran and around the world each year destroys fertilized agricultural lands around the river, coastal installations, bridges, and is general h...

check dams, are small dams in the watershed. these dams are constructed in susceptible areas to erosion due to reduce of flow velocity and erosion, control of sediment and flood in upstream of reservoir dams. these structures are made using wood, stone and cement, and gabion. these structures change the hydrological response of the watershed by reducing flow velocity, the channel slope and stor...

Detention rockfill dams are accounted as economically efficient structures for flood control, river bed and banks protection, flow diversion, etc. As the hydraulic behavior of these structures, when are used for flood control, is affected by the depth of water in their porous media, there is interests to predict water surface profile through the body of these structures. In this research, we de...

New field evidence and discharge calculation procedures provide new estimates of maximum late Pleistocene glacial Lake Missoula flood discharges for two important reaches along the flood route. Within the Spokane Valley, near the point of release, the peak discharge probably exceeded 17 ± 3 million m-sec. Downstream at Wallula Gap, a major point of flow convergence, peak discharge was about 10 ...
