Category : Flood damage
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The lessons learned from this flood focus on the performance of the levees, governmental responses, the effects of flood fighting, change in stages due to levee breaches, flood modeling, and the lack of information dissemination to the public on the technical aspects of the flood. These lessons point out information gaps and the need for research in the areas of hydraulics and hydrology, meteorology, sediment transport and sedimentation, surface and ground-water interactions, water quality, and levees. The report presents a comprehensive summary of the 1993 flood as far as climate, hydrology, and hydraulics are concerned.

Book Description
Dikes are used extensively on large, meandering rivers to help maintain navigation channels. Dike fields alter flow velocities and sedimentation patterns, thereby affecting river morphology and the amount and quality of aquatic habitat. Some investigators have theorized that sedimentation induced by the dike fields constructed on the lower Mississippi, largely since 1960, is altering river morphology and aquatic hatibat in a manner similar to the changes that have been observed in the lower Missouri. Others are of the opinion that dike fields on the lower Mississippi do not typically fill completely with sediment, and the pools they contain have increased the amount of slack-water habitat. Low-water photographs taken in 1962 and 1976 and comprehensive hydrographic surveys done in 1962-64 and 1974-75 were used to measure morphologic changes in diked and undiked reaches. River surface area between river miles 320 and 954 was classified as main channel, secondary channel, slough, chute, or pool. The 1962 and 1976 areas in each category were measured from the photographs. River stage at time of photography averaged about 2 ft (0.6 m) lower in 1976, so 1976 measurements were adjusted for stage differential, based on width mesurements taken from the hydrogaphic surveys. Results were summarized for diked and undiked reaches.
