Spillway Staging and Selective Sediment Deposition in Sand Storage Dams

Creator:

Viducich, Jonathan M. G.

Abstract:

Rainfall scarcity and variability present serious challenges to water security for many rural communities throughout the world's drylands. Sand dams--weirs built across ephemeral or seasonal rivers--provide an appropriate water harvesting and storage option for many regions. The structures quickly fill with sediment during rainy season flow events and store water...

Lateral cavities in streams : flow structure and mean residence times from channel hydraulics, morphology, and computational fluid dynamics

Creator:

Jackson, Tracie R.

Abstract:

Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Both provide refugia for aquatic communities and their longer mean residence times (compared to the main flow) increase the potential for biogeochemical reactions that can improve water quality. As STS and HTS have...
