The Atchafalaya River Delta. Report 5. The Atchafalaya River Delta Quasi-Two-Dimensional Model of Delta Growth and Impacts on River Stages

Abstract

A quasi-two-dimensional sediment movement computer program was verified to historical bed deposition and scour and used to forecast delta growth for the next 50 years. The results are compared with growth rates predicted by several other methods in Report 6 of this series, Interim Summary Report of Growth Prediction. Keywords: Army planning, Resource management, Subaerial land bays, Flood elevation, Alluvial plains, Louisiana, Sedimentation, Deposition.
