Navigation Conditions at Aberdeen Lock and Dam, Tombigbee River Mississippi and Alabama, Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
Aberdeen Lock and Dam will be the fourth structure proposed for the development of navigation on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The lock and dam will be located in a bypass canal about 407.98 miles above the mouth of the Mobile River, or about 1 mile east of Aberdeen in Monroe County, Mississippi. The structures are designed to maintain a minimum upper pool during low flows extending 18 miles up the Tombigbee River and about 1.5 miles up Town Creek and into the Canal Section. The structures will include one lock with clear chamber dimensions of 110 by 600 ft and a dam with a 6-gated spillway section located in a bypass canal on the left overbank. A fixed-bed model reproduced about 1.0 mile of the Tombigbee River channel, the lock approach canal, and the adjacent overbank areas to an undistorted scale of 1:120.
