Title Specification of Sediment Maintenance Flows for a Large Gravel-Bed River
Creator Wilcock, Peter Kondolg, G. M. G., W. V., Matthews Barta, A. F.
Description Reservoir releases may be specified to flush interstitial fine sediment from gravel beds in the river downstream. Choice of an effective flow depends on trade-offs among discharge, flow duration, and pool dredging as they determine rates of bed mobilization, sand removal, and gravel loss. A basis for evaluating these trade-offs is developed with an approximate method appropriate to the sparse data typically available. Sand and gravel transport are represented with rating curves.
