Title Complex Channel Responses to Changes in Stream Flow and Sediment Supply on the Lower Duchesne River, Utah
Creator Gaeuman, D. A. Schmidt, John C. Wilcock, Peter
Description Channel responses to flow depletions in the lower Duchesne River over the past 100 years have been highly complex and variable in space and time. In general, sand-bed reaches adjusted to all perturbations with bed-level changes, whereas the gravel-bed reaches adjusted primarily through width changes. Gravel-bed reaches aggraded only when gravel was supplied to the channel through local bank erosion and degraded only during extreme flood events. A 50% reduction in stream flow and an increase...
