1 Sediment Supply & Hydraulic Continuity: Workshop Review Joe Magner, Ph.D., P.H., P.S.Sc. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Adjunct Faculty, University of Minnesota
2 Denudation Globally, conventional plowing ~ erosion is 1-2 orders of magnitude > soil production. Ecologically unsustainable. No-till: erosion rates ~ soil production rates, thus sustainable. D.R. Montgomery (2007) Dirt: the erosion of civilization, University of California press, Berkeley, 285p
3 Sediment Pathways & Processes Surface or denudation: sheet, interrill, rill, (stripping off the surface) Hillslope: (sloping area between hilltop and channel) ground water, wetland, ephemeral gully Geotechnical: landslides, mass wasting, bluffs Channel: hydraulic bed scour, toe slope scour, sediment deposition
4 Raindrop Impact K e = 0.5MV 2 K = kinetic energy (ergs or ft-lbs) M = mass of falling raindrop (g or lbs) V = velocity of fall (cm/s or ft/s)

8 Hillslope Saturation?
9 Hillslope Degradation
10 Geotechnical Failure
11 Confluence Aggradation
12 Is sediment always a WQ problem? Sediment Yield: total sediment export from a watershed. Sediment Delivery Ratio: D r = Y s /T s Y s = sediment yield (mass/area/yr) T s = total watershed erosion at measured point (mass/area/yr)
13 Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) Function: climate, geology, drainage area, steepness, network density, sinks SDR = sediment yield/total erosion (mass/drainage area/unit time) Y = 95(Qq) 0.65 KLSCP, (Williams, 1975) where: Y = single-storm sediment yield in tons, Q = runoff volume in acre-ft, q = peak discharge in cubic ft/second
14 Fishable and Swimmable Do we know how to restore streams to meet the Clean Water Act goals? 1. Impairment is based on failure to meet water quality standards. 2. Assumed disturbance stressor. 3. What is measured? TURBIDITY = fishable & swimmable? 4. If we measure biological response directly can we infer cause and effect linkages to stressor?
15 WHY?
16 United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA-822-R Office of Water March 2006 Office of Research and Development FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING SUSPENDED AND BEDDED SEDIMENTS (SABS) WATER QUALITY CRITERIA
17 Gather Information 1. Review current designated uses and criteria for a set of waterbodies BEDDED Need to Understand Pathway & Process 1 st, Then BEDDED Synthesize State of Knowledge Analyze Available Data 2. Describe SABS effects on the waterbodies designated uses 3. Select specific SABS and response indicators 4. Define potential ranges in value of the SABS and response indicators 5. Identify a response indicator value that protects the designated use 6. Analyze and characterize SABS/response associations Select Criteria Values 7. Explain decisions that justify criteria selection
18 What drives a water quality (WQ) sediment problem? Intrinsic geologic properties? Climate change? Land use change?
19 Intrinsic Geology
20
21 Upper Midwestern Climate Cyclonic (Frontal or Air Mass) Storms: Cold Front: rain behind front, high intensity, short, small area. Warm Front: rain in advance of front, low intensity, long, large.
22 Novotny & Stefan (2007) Overall upward trend in Minnesota streamflow (~1%/yr for 36 stations 1900 s thru 2002). No change in snow-melt runoff. Summer runoff increased. Higher base-flows. More higher flow days. Amplitude of change was strong after 1980.

27 Functional Process Zones
28 Different Functional Processes: Physical slope Chemical reducing Biological No Fish
29 What defines a Stream? Energy = the capability to do work Power = work/time (units = watt) (channel work = stream power) so, a stream is a response to a continuous energy gradient No gradient (slope) = No stream = ponded water (Lake or Wetland)
30 Stream Fundamentals Potential energy gradient = E = mass*gravity*(elevation) Kinetic energy occurs by virtue of the velocity of flowing water, defined by: E = 0.5*mass*(velocity) 2 Loss of E (via law of Entropy) = heat from friction & transfer of momentum or force = F (units, kg-m/s 2 ) F = (momentum) = (mass)*(velocity) 2
31 Bernoulli s Equation P/(ρg) + V 2 /2g) + z = constant, where: P = pressure (N/m 2 ) ρ = density of fluid (kg/m 3 ) g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s 2 ) V = velocity (m/s) and z = elevation above some datum (m)
32 Stream Fundamentals For a given Q (discharge) there must be conservation of mass, even though the crosssection of the channel may change Section 1, A 1 V 1 = A 2 V 2 at Section 2, thus z 1 + d 1 = V 12 /2g) = z 2 + d 2 + V 22 /2g) + h L Where: d = mean water depth (m) h L = head loss due to energy loss (friction)
33 Flow (Q) = Velocity*Area Specific Stream Energy (given A, Q and S) = E s = d (potential) + (kinetic) V 2 /2g Stream Power = Ω = γavs = QS Unit Stream Power = ώ = Ω /(γa) = VS where: γ = unit weight of water (9803 N/m 3 ) d = flow depth, A = flow width*depth V = velocity, S = slope, and g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s 2.
34 Energy Balance E = z +V 2 / (2g) + P/ (ρg) Any change in E status of a water parcel as it flows, must correspond to changes in at least one of the above components (elevation, velocity or depth) or Change in surface elevation along the stream E = z
35 How important is Slope? We can determine the energy status by measuring S (channel slope) A stream adjusts its energy status by changing its S A stream losses energy (h L ) to its channel by exerting stresses on the channel (τ = shear stress) h L = function of Mannings n

50 What Happened?
51 Novotny & Stefan (2007) Largest changes occurred in the Minnesota River ( Stats were considerably higher in the 1990 s than any previous period.) MN River Winter low-flow rates increasing at a higher rate than any other statistic. Related to an increase in Precipitation? Between 88-02, no significant change.
52 Ground Water Discharge A relatively new hydrologic pathway
53 Seven Mile Creek (Circa 1854) from Kuehner, (2004)
54 Subsurface or Tile Systems from Kuehner (2004) ~600 Miles of subsurface conveyance in 7-Mile Creek
55 Too Little Sediment? Class IV Toe slope scour resulting in undercut
56 Hydraulic Continuity Rosgen (1996)
57 Resistance to Flow Mannings n = (R 0.67 )(S 0.5 )/V Relative roughness = d/d 84 = f (V * D/V) Critical Shear Strength (τ c ) Erosion rate = ε = k (τ o τ c ) where: R = hydraulic radius = (A/2d + w), D = particle size, k = erodibility coefficient, f = Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficient, τ o = boundary shear = γrs, V * = shear velocity
58 τo > τc
59 Excessive sediment supply & build-up of bed sediment
60 What Happened?

62 Stable Design?
63 the river is the carpenter of its own edifice (Leopold, 1994) Is there a relationship between channel form and drainage area?
64 Drainage Area? YES! There is a relationship between Channel Cross-sectional Area & Drainage Area?
65 Quasi-dynamic equilibrium For a given climate, geology, land use a channel X-SA will adjust to find quasidynamic equilibrium with respect to the contributing Drainage Area = BANKFULL.
