Generation of a Sediment Rating and Load Curve Demonstrated at the Mackinaw River Confluence

Abstract

PURPOSE: This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) contains a description of the process to formulate sediment rating and load curves for the bed material load in the Mackinaw River. The calculated curves are intended to define the sediment yield at the mouth of the river for sediment harvesting with a sediment collector.
