Effects of a Proposed 35-Foot Channel to Richmond on Currents and Salinities over the Seed Oyster Beds in James River: Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
A comprehensive model which correctly reproduced tides, currents, and salinities in the James River and tributaries was used to determine the probable effects of a proposed 10-ft increase in the depth (from 25 ft to 35 ft mlw) of the navigation channel between Newport News and Richmond on salinities and currents in the estuary as a whole and especially over the seed oyster beds.
