Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Simultaneous Effect of Collar and Roughness on Reducing and Controlling the Local Scour around Bridge Abutment

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017
Investigation of local scour around hydraulic structures particularly bridges is of crucial importance in river engineering. Bridge destruction mostly occurs as a result of scour phenomenon around piers and abutments, not because of structural weaknesses.

Beach face dynamics as affected by ground water table elevations [PDF]

, 1992
This report presents the results of laboratory studies which were carried out in the Coastal and Oceanographical Engineering Laboratory to investigate the effects of ground water table elevations on the beach profile changes over the swash zone.

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Temporal variation of scour depth around bridge abutment in presence and absence of permeable spur dike under unsteady flow conditions

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
The position and depth of a scour hole around a bridge abutment are the important design parameters. The existing models have been mostly developed for steady flows, whereas real-life abutments often fail due to intrinsically unsteady flood streams. This

Maximum scour depth at piers in armor-beds

KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2009
The paper presents a design method to determine the maximum equilibrium scour depth at piers embedded in a sand-bed overlain by a thin armor-layer of gravels using the experimental data of Dey and Raikar and those of Ettema. The proposed equation is in terms of empirical relationships, termed K-factors, which account for the effects of flow depth, pier

Using Trail Cameras to Monitor Culvert Connectivity in Wadeable Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic barriers in aquatic habitats have led to fragmentation and decreased fish diversity worldwide. Road crossing barriers such as culverts are a significant source of fragmentation and can impede aquatic organism passage (AOP). Many large extent efforts to inventory road crossing barriers and prioritize restoration efforts do not ...

Effects of flow regime on the young stages of salmonid fishes. Summary and conclusions based on results for 1981-1985 [PDF]

, 1985
The main British salmonid species spawn in clean gravel in streams and rivers, many of them in the upland areas of Britain. The earliest stages of the life cycle (eggs and alevins) spend some months within the gravel of the river bed.

Assessing Spatial Riverbed Clogging and Its Dynamics at the Reach Scale: A Coupled Approach Combining Field Measurements and 1D Hydro‐Sedimentary Numerical Modeling

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing spatial and temporal variability of clogging in gravel‐bed rivers is challenging because field methods typically rely on labor‐intensive measurements of fine‐sediment content, porosity, or hydraulic conductivity. Clogging is also highly dynamic, driven by hydro‐sedimentary conditions; yet few studies have examined it at large scales ...
