RIVERS On Huntington, in water Warm clothes, food, $, Daily Bread Measure discharge - survey and velocity Trace flow Compare pools and riffles Field estimate of bankfull stage

Extreme Floods How does the Huntington Fit?

DEFINE BASIN AREA COUNT BOXES OR USE DIGITIZER

Sediment Transport Through Rivers Bedload -- material moving along the bed, shear forces exerted by water sufficient to move clasts Suspended Load -- material kept in the water column by turbulence and lift forces Bedload usually <<< than suspended load and ignored Dissolved Load -- material kept in the water column by turbulence and lift forces Dissolved load varies, usually <<< than suspended load

Sampling for suspended load…….

Mass Loadings and Erosion Rate Estimation Integrate suspended load over all flows (mass/time) Integrate bedload load over all flows (mass/time) Integrate dissolved load over all flows (mass/time) + +

Integration over all flows is a non trivial problem! Need Rating Curves (suspended, dissolved, bedload)

Other Approaches…Reservoir trapping Nahal Yael, Negev Desert
