Hydrologic Analysis for NPS 319 and CMI Grants Dave Fongers, HSU, MDEQ, 517-373-0210, fongersd@michigan.gov Hydrologic Analysis for NPS 319 and CMI Grants

Definitions Hydrology: the occurrence, distribution, and movement of water both on and under the earth's surface. Stream Morphology: the form and structure of a stream (sinuosity, profile, and cross- sectional dimensions). Morphologic Stability: no net change in channel shape, which occurs only if the channel-forming flow is also stable. A stable stream will have natural erosion. Hydrologic changes can cause a stream to be unstable for 60 years or more.
4
Channel-Forming Flow is the flood discharge that causes the channel to assume its existing shape. Extreme flood flows generally have little effect on channel morphology because they are so rare. More frequent flows, those that recur about every 1.5 to 2-years, are generally the dominant channel-forming flows in stable, natural streams (Schueler, 1987 and Rosgen, 1996).
5
Increase Flow or Slope Increase Sediment, Erosion Water can carry 64 times larger particles if the velocity is doubled.
6
Hager Creek Instability is indicated by extensive, excessive erosion, especially along straight reaches.
7
Down-cuts are good indicators of instability. Hager Creek

A. ID erosion causes Foot Traffic
19
This erosion may be caused by flow diverting around debris or ice piling against the former bridge supports. Nearby streambanks are stable. Bear Creek A. ID erosion causes Flow Obstructions

Fleming’s/River Rouge This CMI-funded detention pond’s drainage area is nearly fully developed. Based on the grantee’s hydrologic analysis, the 2-year event release rate is 0.018 cfs/acre. B. BMP design
23
This erosion started 80 years ago when fourteen miles of natural stream was diverted to a three-mile long, straight channel. The hydrologic study provided design flows. East Branch AuGres River A. ID erosion causes
