Sediment-Budget Study for the Upper Mississippi River, GREAT-III Reach,

Abstract

The sediment-budget analysis along the Upper Mississippi River was made using limited field data for the GREAT-II reach between Guttenberg, Iowa and Saverton, Missouri (Pool 11-Pool 22). This analysis resulted in a detailed pool-by-pool estimate of sediment balance, including sediment inputs and outputs on each pool boundary, and average sediment deposition (or scour) or dredging within the pool.
