Abstract
AbstractUpper Mississippi River flow and sediment characteristics downstream of St. Louis are presented in this study. Available and measured data were used to assess a harbor siltation case and dr...
Highlights
Sediment characteristics and loads in the Mississippi River have been the subject of numerous studies in the past decades
The analyses showed that harbor siltation correlates with river conditions, and is driven by wash load in the river, which enters the harbor in suspension and deposits along the bottom due to the lack of flow-through velocities high enough to keep the fine sediments in suspension
Flow and sediments in the Upper Mississippi River were characterized with information available at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) gaging station in St
Summary
Sediment characteristics and loads in the Mississippi River have been the subject of numerous studies in the past decades. Suspended and Bed Material Sediment Characteristics Grain size distributions for the sediments in the Mississippi River at St. Louis, MO were available as part of U S Geological Survey field/lab water quality samples (Table 5).
