Book Description
The field study was conducted in order to obtain a better understanding of the flow and sediment-transport mechanisms responsible for the recurrent shoaling that has been experienced in the vicinities of Fox Island (RM-355-6)and Buzzard Island (RM-349-50) in Pool 20 between Keokuk, Iowa, and Canton, Missouri, in the Mississippi River. Three sets of detailed data on transverse and streamwise distributions of flow velocity, suspended sediment discharge, bed-load discharge, bed-material properties, and flow depth were obtained for the high, intermediate, and low river stages during the period between May and September, 1976. The field data were used to establish empirical relationships between the sediment transport rates and hydraulic quantities in the study reaches. Based on the empirical sediment discharge formulas, closures of some side-channels to increase-transport capacity in the main channel of the study reaches have been suggested. (Author).
