Abstract: The Cochiti reach of the Rio Grande served as a case study to test the hypothesis that the lateral mobility of an alluvial river decreases as the river approaches equilibrium. The lateral mobility of the river was measured ...

Abstract: Successive reaches of the Rio Grande have maintained equivalent channel widths of 50 and

Abstract: This study improves total sediment load calculations on the basis of depth-integrated sediment concentration measurements for channels with significant sediment transport in suspension. The series expansion of the modified ...

Abstract: A sediment plug is defined as aggradation in a river that completely blocks the main channel. Information from documented cases of sediment plug development in alluvial rivers was used to develop criteria for plug formation ...

Abstract: Undesired bank erosion and migration of channel bends has led to the development of transverse in-stream structures as a mitigation technique. Currently, state-of-the-art procedures for structure design focus upon ranges ...

Abstract: Consequences are presented from flume experiments regarding bed scour at rock vanes and bendway weirs constructed of loose rock placed on sand bed channels. The experiments involved three flow discharges adjusted to replicate ...
