| description abstract | The subaqueous portion of a levee bank in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta of central California was instrumented to quantify the impact of boat-generated waves. Typical erosion rates associated with recreational craft are too small for direct measurement of bank retreat on a per-boat-passage basis; therefore, two independent analytical methods of estimating linear erosion were developed based on colocated suspended sediment concentration and velocity time series. The algorithms were tested using data measured during a field experiment in which a 7.5 m boat was driven past the site over a range of speeds to generate waves of varying size. A cross-shore array of electromagnetic current meters and optical back-scatterance sensors measured the character of boat-generated waves and the resultant sediment suspension.
