The downstream of the world’s largest Three Gorges Dam (TGD) along Yangtze River (1560 km) hosts numerous mid-channel bars (MCBs). The morphodynamics of these MCBs are crucial to the river’s hydrological processing, local ecological functioning and socioeconomic development. However, a systematic understanding of such dynamics and their 20 linkages to the TGD across the entire downstream reach remain largely unknown. Using Landsat archive images and a thematic extracting scheme, the work presents comprehensive monitoring of MCB dynamics in terms of number, area, and shape, in the downstream of the TGD during 1985–2018.

Approved by: May 2016 Ken E Gause, Director International Affairs Group Center for Strategic Studies Copyright © 2016 CNA Abstract The Brahmaputra River originates in China and runs through India and Bangladesh. China and India have fought a war over contested territory through which the river flows, and Bangladesh faces human security pressures in this basin that will be magnified by upstream river practices. Controversial dam-building activities and water diversion plans could threaten regional stability; yet, no bilateral or multilateral water management accord exists in the Brahmaputra basin. This project, sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, provides greater understanding of the equities and drivers fueling water insecurity in the Brahmaputra River basin. After conducting research in Dhaka, New Delhi, and Beijing, CNA offers recommendations for key stakeholders to consider at the subnational, bilateral, and multilateral levels to increase cooperation in the basin. These findings lay the foundation for policymakers in China, India, and Bangladesh to discuss steps that help manage and resolve Brahmaputra resource competition, thereby strengthening regional security.

HARRISON May 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Audrey B. Harrison All rights reserved. ABSTRACT The effects of hydrological connectivity between the Mississippi River main channel and adjacent secondary channel and floodplain habitats on macroinvertebrate community structure, water chemistry, and sediment makeup and chemistry are analyzed. In river-floodplain systems, connectivity between the main channel and the surrounding floodplain is critical in maintaining ecosystem processes. Floodplains comprise a variety of aquatic habitat types, including frequently connected secondary channels and oxbows, as well as rarely connected backwater lakes and pools. Herein, the effects of connectivity on riverine and floodplain biota, as well as the impacts of connectivity on the physiochemical makeup of both the water and sediments in secondary channels are examined.

  • On the Formation of Fluvial Islands
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Joshua R. Wyrick for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering presented on March 31, 2005. Title: On the Formation of Fluvial Islands Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. Peter C. Klingeman This research analyzes the effects of islands on river process and the effects river processes have on island formation. A fluvial island is defined herein as a land mass within a river channel that is separated from the floodplain by water on all sides, exhibits some stability, and remains exposed during bankfull flow. Fluvial islands are present in nearly all major rivers. They must therefore have some impact on the fluid mechanics of the system, and yet there has never been a detailed study on fluvial islands.Islands represent a more natural state of a river system and have been shown to provide hydrologic variability and biotic diversity for the river. This research describes the formation of fluvial islands, investigates the formation of fluvial islands experimentally, determines the main relations between fluvial islands and river processes, compares and describes relationships between fluvial islands and residual islands found in megaflood outwash plains, and reaches conclusions regarding island shape evolution and flow energy loss optimization. Fluvial islands are known to form by at least nine separate processes: avulsion, gradual degradation of channel branches, lateral shifts in channel position, stabilization of a bar or riffle, isolation of structural features, rapid incision of flood deposits, sediment deposition in the lee of an obstacle, isolation of material deposited by mass movement, and isolation of riparian topography after the installation of a dam.

  • Predicting Ecological Diversity of Floodplains Using a Hydromorphic Model (CAESAR)
    Master Thesis Predicting Ecological Diversity of Floodplains Using a Hydromorphic Model (CAESAR) A Reduced Complexity Approach on Reach Scale for the Tagliamento River Nico Bätz August 2010 Department of Soil Science Land Dynamics group Thesis for the Soils Science Master specialisation Land Science of Wageningen University. Realised in cooperation with the TU Berlin, Institut für Ökologie, Fachgebiet Bodenkunde LAND DYNAMICS Group P.O. box 47 6700 AA Wageningen The Netherlands Supervisors Dr. Arnaud Temme (Wageningen University) Dr. Friederike Lang (TU Berlin) Examiners Dr. Arnaud Temme Dr. Jeroen Schoorl 2 Summary Eco-hydromorphic interactions between ecological and hydromorphic processes are especially relevant for braided rivers, in which feedbacks keep the system in a dynamic equilibrium. This equilibrium is delicate and susceptible to human impact so that most braided rivers disappeared from the European pre-alpine landscape. Especially changes in hydromorphic behaviour, due to intensive human river regulation, are key factors for the disappearing. Changes in river hydromorphology can be predicted by models but results were rarely linked to ecology. The aim of the study is to evaluate the possibility of linking hydromorphic variables to the spatial distribution of ecological conditions and to check the suitability of the proposed method for human impact assessment. Prediction of the spatial distribution of ecological units is based on the hydromorphic model CAESAR which includes basic interactions with vegetation. As study site the Tagliamento River between Cornino and Flagogna is chosen, which is assumed to be a model ecosystem of European importance. After the input data were pre-processed and the preliminary settings of CAESAR were defined spin-up was run to create a heterogeneous sediment distribution.

  • River Islands at Lathrop Stage 1 Levee System Report of Adequate Progress
    RIVER ISLANDS AT LATHROP STAGE 1 LEVEE SYSTEM REPORT OF ADEQUATE PROGRESS TOWARDS AN URBAN LEVEL OF FLOOD PROTECTION JUNE 2016 BLANK PAGE REPORT OF ADEQUATE PROGRESS TOWARDS AN URBAN LEVEL OF FLOOD PROTECTION RIVER ISLANDS AT LATHROP, STAGE 1 LEVEE SYSTEM INTRODUCTION In 2007, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 5, which requires all cities and counties within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley to make findings related to an urban level of flood protection for lands within a flood hazard zone. The bill defined “urban level of flood protection” as the level of flood protection necessary to withstand flooding that has a 1-in-200 chance of occurring in any given year using criteria consistent with, or developed by, the Department of Water Resources (DWR). Further, the legislation required a city or county, prior to making any number of land use decisions beginning in July 2016, to demonstrate that there is an urban level of flood protection, impose conditions that will achieve the urban level of flood protection, or demonstrate adequate progress toward providing an urban level of flood protection. In November 2013, DWR released guidelines for implementing the legislation titled, Urban Level of Flood Protection Criteria (ULOP Criteria). The River Islands at Lathrop (River Islands) project is a master planned community located within the limits of the City of Lathrop on Stewart Tract. The River Islands project area is coterminous with Island Reclamation District 2062 (RD 2062) and RD 2062 is both the local maintaining agency for River Islands levees and the local flood management agency as defined by State law for the River Islands project area.
