Abstract: Description of physical aquatic habitat often includes data describing distributions of water depth, velocity, and bed material type. Water depth and velocity in streams deeper than about 1 m may be continuously mapped ...

Abstract: Water quality data collected from Yellow Creek in northeast Mississippi before and during construction of the Divide Cut of the Tennessee‐Tombigbee Waterway provide information regarding the water quality effects of stream ...

Abstract: Laboratory and design procedures have been developed for chemical clarification of dredged material containment area effluents based on results of laboratory and field tests. The design is suitable for normal disposal ...

Abstract: A simple procedure for designing large, shallow basins to ensure adequate treatment time and reduce their costs is derived and explained. It considers the cost of perimeter and internal (baffle) dikes, the cost of land, ...

Abstract: A simple technique for predicting the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor for river channels with varying amounts of large woody debris was developed. First, debris density is determined based on measurement or visual estimation ...

Abstract: A series of experiments were conducted in which the volume of the scour hole associated with model spur dikes was measured in a laboratory flume under clear-water overtopping flows. Spur dike models were angled at 45, 90, ...

Abstract: Described is a method for channel erosion control and habitat rehabilitation featuring intermittent placement of structures made of large woody debris. This method is expressly tailored to address severe problems typical ...

Abstract: The stable pools formed by spur dikes can be a significant factor for improving aquatic habitat in unstable degraded streams. Prediction of the volume and geometry of the scour hole associated with a spur dike yields ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
