Abstract: Seepage erosion—in particular, slope failures (bank slumps, mass wasting)—is prevalent on most sandbars downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam, Ariz. The public is concerned about the loss of the extant biomass and recreational ...

Abstract: Previous researchers have treated the magnitude and direction of the seepage vector as independent variables and found that seepage, parallel to the surface, does not result in the minimum stable seepage slope. In the ...

Abstract: The Glen Canyon Dam, located in the northeastern corner of Arizona, is operated to satisfy peak power demands of neighboring states. The discharge regime of the dam is such that the river stage in the Colorado River ...

Abstract: The effect of fluctuating discharge from Glen Canyon Dam on downstream sandbars is of significant concern to dam operators, environmentalists, and the public. In this contribution, the observations of seepage-related erosion ...
