How much sediment does a river carry? Where does it all go? What happens along the way? How have human actions modified the way rivers work? Can rivers be restored after adverse affects from human ...

Researchers have devised a better way to measure how fast sediment flows in rivers -- information that can help scientists and planners better prepare for flooding and weather-related events, ...

Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood ...

Channel morphology in streams and rivers is a product of the watershed scale flux of sediment and water to the channel network. As a result the scaling of channel geometry downstream through stream ...

A study conducted in New York shows that a stream quickly regained its ecological health after the removal of an obsolete dam ...

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 2, No. 1 (January to June, 2008), pp. 28-32 (5 pages) Abstract: The present work is a comparative evaluation of some of the well known sediment ...

The bed roughness in headwater streams is generally large in comparison to the flow depths required to initiate bed load transport The roughness produced by cobbles and gravels distorts the vertical ...

On May 12, 2008, the magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake shook central China, its destructive tremors spreading from the flank of the Longmen Shan, or Dragon's Gate Mountains, along the eastern margin ...
