Quantifying Minor Sediment Sources Bank Erosion and Flood Plain Scour, GREAT III.

Abstract

Bank erosion and/or fill and flood plain scour and fill as sources of sediment yield were quantified. The method used to quantify bank erosion and/or fill was to map the high bank along the GREAT III reach. The results obtained from this method indicate that only small changes in the bankline location over the 22 years studied have occurred. Sensitivity analyses were included to show what effect the error incurred in the methodology used may have on the results. (Author)
