  • River Dynamics 101 - Fact Sheet River Management Program Vermont Agency of Natural Resources
    River Dynamics 101 - Fact Sheet River Management Program Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Overview In the discussion of river, or fluvial systems, and the strategies that may be used in the management of fluvial systems, it is important to have a basic understanding of the fundamental principals of how river systems work. This fact sheet will illustrate how sediment moves in the river, and the general response of the fluvial system when changes are imposed on or occur in the watershed, river channel, and the sediment supply. The Working River The complex river network that is an integral component of Vermont’s landscape is created as water flows from higher to lower elevations. There is an inherent supply of potential energy in the river systems created by the change in elevation between the beginning and ending points of the river or within any discrete stream reach. This potential energy is expressed in a variety of ways as the river moves through and shapes the landscape, developing a complex fluvial network, with a variety of channel and valley forms and associated aquatic and riparian habitats. Excess energy is dissipated in many ways: contact with vegetation along the banks, in turbulence at steps and riffles in the river profiles, in erosion at meander bends, in irregularities, or roughness of the channel bed and banks, and in sediment, ice and debris transport (Kondolf, 2002). Sediment Production, Transport, and Storage in the Working River Sediment production is influenced by many factors, including soil type, vegetation type and coverage, land use, climate, and weathering/erosion rates.

    REAL-TIME STREAM FLOW GAGES IN MONTANA Montana is home to over 264 real-time stream lows and improve water management practices. It gages located throughout the state. These gages can drive the understanding for other sciences and and their networks assist in delivering water data to helps inform citizens on how we can prepare for scientists and the public. While Montana’s demand changes in our water supply. It is imperative to for water continues to grow, water availability maintain as many gages as possible to preserve varies from year-to-year and can change these historical records for current and future dramatically in any given year. Managing supply and generations. demand challenges is an ongoing feature of life.

Azevedo Netto EDITED Raymond Reid WASHINGTON, D.C., MARCH 1992 PROLOGUE This publication is the product of the last contract of the late Jose Martiniano de Azevedo Netto with the Pan American Health Organization and is a significant example of a relationship of more than 40 years duration —a relationship that was characterized always with a touch of daring, and clever, innovative approaches to the solution of environmental health problems and risks. The contribution of Azevedo Netto to sanitary engineering goes far beyond his countless books, papers and articles. Thousands of public health and sanitary engineering professionals in Latin America have been affected and influenced by his inspiring and dedicated teachings and instruction. Azevedo Netto was born in Brazil in 1918, graduated as a civil engineer from the University of Sao Paulo, and earned his masters degree in sanitary engineering from Harvard University and his doctorate in public health from the University of Sao Paulo. The professional life of Professor Azevedo Netto, as he liked to be called, took him to all continents as a teacher and as technical advisor to governments and institutions such as Pan American Health Organization, the World Bank, Inter- American Development Bank and others. A founding member of the Inter-American and the Brazilian Associations of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, Azevedo Netto raised the consciousness of the importance of sanitary engineering to improvement of peoples' health and quality of life.

  • Classifying Rivers - Three Stages of River Development
    Classifying Rivers - Three Stages of River Development River Characteristics - Sediment Transport - River Velocity - Terminology The illustrations below represent the 3 general classifications into which rivers are placed according to specific characteristics. These categories are: Youthful, Mature and Old Age. A Rejuvenated River, one with a gradient that is raised by the earth's movement, can be an old age river that returns to a Youthful State, and which repeats the cycle of stages once again. A brief overview of each stage of river development begins after the images. A list of pertinent vocabulary appears at the bottom of this document. You may wish to consult it so that you will be aware of terminology used in the descriptive text that follows. Characteristics found in the 3 Stages of River Development: L. Immoor 2006 Geoteach.com 1 Youthful River: Perhaps the most dynamic of all rivers is a Youthful River. Rafters seeking an exciting ride will surely gravitate towards a young river for their recreational thrills. Characteristically youthful rivers are found at higher elevations, in mountainous areas, where the slope of the land is steeper. Water that flows over such a landscape will flow very fast. Youthful rivers can be a tributary of a larger and older river, hundreds of miles away and, in fact, they may be close to the headwaters (the beginning) of that larger river. Upon observation of a Youthful River, here is what one might see: 1. The river flowing down a steep gradient (slope). 2. The channel is deeper than it is wide and V-shaped due to downcutting rather than lateral (side-to-side) erosion.

All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT COST EFFECTIVENESS IN SEWER DESIGN GARY J. DIORIO, P.E. MASTER OF SCIENCE YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY Probably the most important challenge facing an engineer today is to ensure that his design is competitive in terms of costs. Besides being technically sound, the designer's objectives are to provide a cost effective solution. This thesis presents a computer program to be used as a guide for the design of storm sewers to ensure a cost effective solution. The computer program is compiled to generate overland flows to inlets by use of a combination of the Rational Method and the Soil Conservation Method. The cost effective solution is found by applying the cost function according to the constraints set forth in the program. The program ~ constraints involve minimum slopes to ensure proper velocities in the pipe, proper pipe sizes to ensure a technically sound design, and to provide a minimum depth of sewer throughout the entire length. A case study is also included and analyzed to provide reliability data for the computer program. The design process, including cost computation, is laborious to the extent that it discourages the effort to explore all situations to arrive at a cost effective design. The purpose of this thesis is to provide the designer with the following: ii 1.

  • Calculating Resistance to Flow in Open Channels 1. Introduction
    Alternative Hydraulics Paper 2, 5 April 2010 Calculating resistance to flow in open channels John D. Fenton http://johndfenton.com/Alternative-Hydraulics.html [email protected] Abstract The Darcy-Weisbach formulation of flow resistance has advantages over the Gauckler-Manning- Strickler form. It is more fundamental, and research results for it should be able to be used in practice. A formula for the dimensionless resistance coefficient was presented by Yen (1991, equa- tion 30), which bridges between the limits of smooth flow and fully rough flow, to give a general formula for calculating resistance as a function of relative roughness and Reynolds number, appli- cable for a channel Reynolds number R>30 000 and relative roughness ε<0.05. In this paper, the author shows how a closely similar formula was obtained which is in terms of natural loga- rithms, which are simpler if further operations such as differentiation have to be performed. The formulae are shown to agree with predictions from the Gauckler-Manning-Strickler form, and with a modified form for open channels, have advantages that the equations are simpler and terms are more physically-obvious, as well as using dimensionless coefficients with a greater connectedness to other fluid mechanics studies. 1. Introduction The ASCE Task Force on Friction Factors in Open Channels (1963) expressed its belief in the general utility of using the Darcy-Weisbach formulation for resistance to flow in open channels, noting that it was more fundamental, and was based on more fundamental research.
