Characterization of the Suspended-Sediment Regime and Bed-Material Gradation of the Mississippi River Basin. Potamology Program (P-I). Report 1, Volume I.
Abstract
The study reported herein is a component of the Potamology Program of the Lower Mississippi Valley Division. The Potamology Program is a comprehensive study of physical forces which influence the flood carrying capacity and navigability of the lower Mississippi River. The purpose of the Potamology Program is to define cause-and-effect relationships that result in short-term and long-term changes in the lower Mississippi River's stage-discharge relationships and to develop improved design concepts and criteria for construction of channel stabilization works which will improve flood control and navigation along the lower Mississippi River. The Potamology Program is composed of two major components: Sedimentation, Mississippi River Basin; and Aggradation and Degradation, Mississippi River. This study is one item under the Sedimentation component.
