1 Pirai river (Bolivia) Confluent of the Amazon river which average discharge is only 6 m3/s, but with peak discharge over 5000 m3/s, a challenge for river basin management and for flood control HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J.thisPeters are needed to see picture. VUB Consultant - River specialist
2 How the project began The Pirai river experiences regularly flash floods because of its location along the edge of the Andes (river basin ranging from 2600 m to 250 m) Erosion in the upper catchment produces a lot of sediment that deposits in the lower catchment as an large alluvial fan where the river course changes very often The area of the alluvial fan is an important agricultural area with a relatively (and unimportant ) city of Montero The German Cooperation had a long-term project for designing new types of hydraulic structures to control the stability of the river course, especially in the alluvial fan HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
3 How the project began In 1983, a flash flood occurred in the Pirai river basin which inundated the (rich part) of the (rich) city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the most important economic centre of the country The Bolivian Government requested the assistance of the European Commission for building flood defences along the city (the emergency phase) and to set up a master plan (the long-term management phase), project accepted for financing in 1986 In 1987, a consultancy consortium presented the plans for the city defences at a cost = 220% the available budget based on modelling and theoretical formulas for riverbed scouring HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir.

7 A turbion in 1992, with velocities higher than 6m/s A meandering flow in a braided river, with very high velocities in only a part of the cross section HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
8 A very special river The flash floods start from an almost empty river till discharges of the order of thousands cubic meters per second in less than one day The riverbed is very wide ( meters), with cross-sections almost horizontal (bed level variation less than 1 m) The riverbed material observed during dry periods is very fine, about 0.3 mm, what is exceptional for a river with such strong slopes (> 3 m/km), but under the top layer are very coarse materials HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
9 Modelling this very special river The first 1-D modelling for designing the flood defences required the use of extreme flow resistance coefficients A second modelling for the Master Plan with a different numerical model also needed roughness smoother than glass Nobody could understand, but everybody (or almost) was happy because it had been possible to calibrate the models Observing the river s behaviour, the damages caused by the floods and the peculiar composition of the bed sediments, we suspected a strong reworking of the river bed during the floods HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
10 Modelling this very special river We designed a system to measure the scouring (erosion) of the riverbed during a flood: coring (drilling tubes) deep into the bed, removing the sediment and replacing it by an artificial sediment (moulded bricks) coloured in red and wait for the flood The idea was that the coloured material would be washed away down to the deepest scouring depth Results from significant (but not extraordinary) floods in 1992 gave fantastic results: the riverbed eroded locally to depths of more than 8 m The change in cross-section geometry makes that water level do not rise very much Modelling the floods with an adapted geometry did not require any adjustment of the roughness coefficients!

12 Destruction La Angostura bridge during 1983 flood HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
13 The role of the Project Adviser The first task was to establish a potamological diagnostic The results of this was that the inundation had not been provoked by overtopping of the banks, but by outflanking of a channel This outflanking had been due to the deflection of the flow by the shape of the opposite bank, itself caused by bank protection structures more upstream The consultant had proposed to build 3 large groynes (big structures), but we instead suggested to correct the shape of the opposite bank, which was done successfully at almost no cost HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir.

28 Avulsion phenomena in the alluvial fan The Pirai river has always developed new courses close to the city of Montero that grew quickly due to increased agricultural activities in the area with fine, rich sediments Construction of a road and a railway perpendicular to river courses and drainage system induced upstream sediment retention of sediments (according to Lane balance) Already in 1973, the river had abandoned its bed and was diverted close to the city of Montero A project of the German cooperation brought the river back almost in its previous course HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir.

33 Avulsion phenomena in the alluvial fan and produced a breach in the dike The Pirai flow followed then the La Madre river course, producing even more regressive riverbed degradation up to the road HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
34 Avulsion phenomena in the alluvial fan An extraordinary flood produced an avulsion in an upstream bend, with formation of a kind of a delta, upstream of the road dike HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
35 Avulsion phenomena in the alluvial fan The excavation of an artificial course in the Juan Latino canal brought the Pirai river back almost in its previous course, although it had insufficient hydraulic capacity for major flood discharges. HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir. J.J. Peters VUB Consultant - River specialist
36 What did we learn from this project? Inundations are not only due to water levels, also attack and erosion of river banks can be very dangerous (happened in the Var river in 1983 in the Industrial Zone of Carros) Modelling is usually made with the geometry measured after the flood, not during it; the geometry may change a lot but how do we take this into account in the modelling (I have proposed for the Var experiment similar to the one in the Pirai, but this has been considered as not feasible ) Preventive and recurrent measures are often more effective and economic than heavy engineering (but decision makers don t like them because they prefer inaugurate big works) HYDROEUROPE Prof. Ir.
