Restoring the sinuosity of artificially straightened stream channels

Journal Article Brookes, A - Environmental Geology and Water Sciences; (United States)

Restoration of Danish stream channels is encouraged by the Watercourse Act of 1982 and has been undertaken partly because of the adverse physical and biological effects caused by artificial straightening. A new technique for restoring morphologic and hydrologic diversity to stream channels has been developed, exemplifying the concept of working with nature rather than against it. This relies on re-creating the former sinuosity, cross-sectional dimensions, slope and substrate of a stream channel. Natural fluvial features are restored to a channel, and because slope is decreased stability is probable. In turn, this could be beneficial to the flora and fauna ofmore »« less

Stability of riffle-pool morphology in Ozark streams

Conference McKenney, R ; Jacobson, R B - Geological Society of America, Abstracts with Programs; (United States)

Ozarks streams have undergone extensive gravel aggradation over the last 50 to 100 years. Gravel aggradation can alter bed material characteristics, channel geometry, and channel pattern; these changes, in turn, can affect aquatic ecology, erosion rates, flood hazards, and water quality. In a comprehensive study of Ozarks streams, changes in channel cross-section geometry and channel pattern are being evaluated over time intervals of seasons to decades. Aerial photographs of Little Piney Creek (Phelps County, Missouri) from 1938 and 1989 show that the frequency and area of pools and riffles have changed substantially over the last five decades. In that timemore »« less
Use of aerial photograph, channel-type interpretations to predict habitat availability in small streams. Restoration project 95505b. Exxon Valdez oil spill restoration project final report

Technical Report Olson, R A

In-stream habitats were quantified and qualified for nine stream channel-types. The channel types were identified using interpretations from stereo pairs of color and infrared aerial photographs. A total of 70 sites were sampled for streams located on the northwest portion of the Kenai Peninsula, in south-central Alaska. Channel-types were a significant predictor (P < 0.05) of the area (sq m) for 9 of 13 habitat types. Channel-types that had similar habitat composition, differed in size and depth of those habitats. Spawning habitat also appeared to be correlated to channel-type, however the within channel-type variability caused the differences to test non-significantmore » P < 0.05.« less
A spatially distributed model for assessment of the effects of changing land use and climate on urban stream quality: Development of a Spatially Distributed Urban Water Quality Model

Journal Article Sun, Ning ; Yearsley, John ; Baptiste, Marisa ; ... - Hydrological Processes

While the effects of land use change in urban areas have been widely examined, the combined effects of climate and land use change on the quality of urban and urbanizing streams have received much less attention. We describe a modeling framework that is applicable to the evaluation of potential changes in urban water quality and associated hydrologic changes in response to ongoing climate and landscape alteration. The grid-based spatially distributed model, DHSVM-WQ, is an outgrowth of the Distributed Hydrology-Soil-Vegetation Model (DHSVM) that incorporates modules for assessing hydrology and water quality in urbanized watersheds at a high spatial and temporal resolution.more »« less

Pool spacing, channel morphology, and the restoration of tidal forested wetlands of the Columbia River, U.S.A.

Journal Article Diefenderfer, Heida L ; Montgomery, David R - Restoration Ecology, 17(1):158-168

Tidal forested wetlands have sustained substantial areal losses, and restoration practitioners lack a description of many ecosystem structures associated with these late-successional systems in which surface water is a significant controlling factor on the flora and fauna. The roles of large woody debris in terrestrial and riverine ecosystems have been well described compared to functions in tidal areas. This study documents the role of large wood in forcing channel morphology in Picea-sitchensis (Sitka spruce) dominated freshwater tidal wetlands in the floodplain of the Columbia River, U.S.A. near the Pacific coast. The average pool spacing documented in channel surveys of threemore »« less
