Engineers modify Bucks Mill Dam to restore river function, boost fish and wildlife habitat, manage sediment flow and keep lake levels steady.

Sediment transport and shallow water flow modelling constitute a critical nexus between theoretical hydrodynamics and practical applications in environmental engineering, flood management and riverine ...

image: An MIT team has developed a more accurate formula to calculate how much sediment a fluid can push across a granular bed, which could help engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion.

With startling imagery of sediment plumes making their way to the Chesapeake Bay from upstream sources after major storms, great focus has centered around where this pollution comes from and what ...

KALAMAZOO COUNTY, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has issued two violations to the company that owns the Morrow Dam, saying large amounts of sediment have ...

Fifteen percent of the world’s electrical energy comes from hydropower, making it the leading source of renewable energy. But ...

The flume is 15m long, 1m wide, and 50cm deep and is designed to study sediment dynamics. The flume has an adjustable slope (-0.5 to 2.0%) and will recirculate water and sediment at up to 0.2 cubic ...

Hundreds of workers helped residents clear their property of trees toppled by last week's storm. Kalamazoo County Democratic Party building evacuated after "suspicious package" found The Kalamazoo ...

Far below the surface of the sea, the seabed is being scoured by rivers of sediment that can flow thousands of miles from land. The river cascades through steep-sided gorges and churns around isolated ...

Lewis and Clark Lake is slowly turning into a mudflat. Every year, 5 million tons of sediment flow into the reservoir. Since the 1950s, it’s lost 30% of its storage — and by 2045, it may be half full ...
