The uses of sediment transport and morphodynamic modeling in stream restoration

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

Many streams have become morphologically and ecologically compromised because their sediment budget is out of balance. Examples include a) stream reaches upstream and downstream of dams, b) streams subject to gravel/sand mining, c) streams subject to urban encroachment, d) streams the drainage basins of which have been made largely impermeable and e) streams subject to sediment disposal, toxic or otherwise. Restoration of such streams can be greatly aided by considerations of sediment balance. Depending on the type of project under consideration, the calculations involved can be as simple as those implemented with a spreadsheet or sufficiently complex to require a custom-made numerical model. An example is given in the presentation.
