Book Description
The management and design of natural channel systems may be defined as the process by which new or reconstructed stream channels and their associated flood plain riparian systems are designed to be naturally functional, stable, healthy, productive, and sustainable. This document is intended to provide an approach to natural channel management and design by identifying important functional ecological relationships between stream channels, their associated riparian and flood plain systems, and their watersheds. It provides a conceptual basis for natural channel systems, describes design principles, and also introduces a stream classification system that can be used in identifying often overlooked geomorphological principles and attributes of stream and valley systems. A case study design application and a glossary are included.

Stream Hydrology
Author: Nancy D. Gordon
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118688171
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 637
Book Description
Since the publication of the first edition (1994) there have been rapid developments in the application of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology to stream management. In particular, growth has occurred in the areas of stream rehabilitation and the evaluation of environmental flow needs. The concept of stream health has been adopted as a way of assessing stream resources and setting management goals. Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists Second Edition documents recent research and practice in these areas. Chapters provide information on sampling, field techniques, stream analysis, the hydrodynamics of moving water, channel form, sediment transport and commonly used statistical methods such as flow duration and flood frequency analysis. Methods are presented from engineering hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and hydraulics with examples of their biological implications. This book demonstrates how these fields are linked and utilised in modern, scientific river management. * Emphasis on applications, from collecting and analysing field measurements to using data and tools in stream management. * Updated to include new sections on environmental flows, rehabilitation, measuring stream health and stream classification. * Critical reviews of the successes and failures of implementation. * Revised and updated windows-based AQUAPAK software. This book is essential reading for 2nd/3rd year undergraduates and postgraduates of hydrology, stream ecology and fisheries science in Departments of Physical Geography, Biology, Environmental Science, Landscape Ecology, Environmental Engineering and Limnology. It would be valuable reading for professionals working in stream ecology, fisheries science and habitat management, environmental consultants and engineers.

Stream Channel Stability
Author: Joe C. Willis
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Mathematical models
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
In a stable alluvial channel, no net erosion or deposition of sediment occurs on the average. The sediment supply rate from upstream is balanced by capacity of the flow to transport the bed material. Any successful channel design must maintain this equilibrium or establish it for channel reaches that are not stable. Design relationships between the bed material transport capacity and the hydraulic variables of flow are based primarily on data from relatively small test channels. Reliable data for equilibrium transport of bed material by flows over about twenty cfs are not adequate to insure that data from small flumes can be extrapolated to prototype designs. An investigation was conducted in the 250-ft long test channel at the USDA Sedimentation Laboratory to obtain additional data on equilibrium transport by flows up to 150 cfs. Data on the transport rates, flow friction factors, and statistical properties of the bed forms were obtained. The results are presented as basic variable correlations with the controlled variables of the experiments, depth and discharge, along with attempts to generalize the relationships by similitude principles.

Open Channel Flow
Author: Roland Jeppson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439839751
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1260
Book Description
A comprehensive treatment of open channel flow, Open Channel Flow: Numerical Methods and Computer Applications starts with basic principles and gradually advances to complete problems involving systems of channels with branches, controls, and outflows/ inflows that require the simultaneous solutions of systems of nonlinear algebraic equations coupled with differential equations. The book includes a CD that contains a program that solves all types of simple open channel flow problems, the source programs described in the text, the executable elements of these programs, the TK-Solver and MathCad programs, and the equivalent MATLABĀ® scripts and functions. The book provides applied numerical methods in an appendix and also incorporates them as an integral component of the methodology in setting up and solving the governing equations. Packed with examples, the book includes problems at the end of each chapter that give readers experience in applying the principles and often expand upon the methodologies use in the text. The author uses Fortran as the software to supply the computer instruction but covers math software packages such as MathCad, TK-Solver, MATLAB, and spreadsheets so that readers can use the instruments with which they are the most familiar. He emphasizes the basic principles of conservation of mass, energy, and momentum, helping readers achieve true mastery of this important subject, rather than just learn routine techniques. With the enhanced understanding of the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics provided by this book, readers can then apply these principles to the solution of complex real-world problems. The book supplies the knowledge tools necessary to analyze and design economical and properly performing conveyance systems. Thus not only is the book useful for graduate students, but it also provides professional engineers the expertise and knowledge to design well performing and economical channel systems.
