Sediment Displacement in the Ottauquechee River -- 1975-1978.

Abstract

A three-year study of sediment displacement was conducted on a short section of the Ottauquechee River in Vermont that has erosional problems caused by ice. The results of cross-sectional surveys showed large quantities of the bank eroded and deposition in the bed within the study area. The erosion appears to have been caused by (1) the ice scouring the banks, and (2) ice plugging the channel and diverting the flow toward the banks. (Author)
