25 Data Needs FLUVIAL-GEOMORPHIC DATA ARE NEEDED TO EVALUATE: STREAMBANK EROSION PROBLEMS, AND SOLUTIONS
26 Fluvial-Geomorphic Data Needed Erosion Rate Establish Accelerated Erosion Bankfull Discharge Gage Data (peak verses mean daily) Regional Curves (Leopold Example) Manning Equation Continuity Equation Regional Equat.. like USGS, & ORWRD Establish Bankfull indicators to Determine Width, Depth and Area, and Estimate Velocity
27 Manning s equation v n 1 2 Where: r s A r = = WP s = ft ft ft ft 2 hydraulic radius rise divided by run n = mannings roughness coefficient n, which is dimensionless Q = a v Where: a = area in ft 2 v = velocity in fps
28 What Is Bankfull By definition, the flow in a stream goes over bank and floods when it exceeds bankfull. Leopold defined as the first flat depositional surface formed by the stream and flooded by the stream at a frequent interval The recurrence interval for bankfull flow is very frequent, and has been reported in the literature to have between a 1.0 and 3.0 year average recurrence interval.
29 Bankfull Cont. Recent studies in the Northwest indicate that the bankfull frequency is between 1.0 and 1.5 years in average recurrence interval. At the 1.5 year average recurrence interval, a stream gets out of bank two out of three years, or with a 67% chance that the stream will get out of bank in any one year.
30 Bankfull Cont. The bankfull surface of a stream is not always is not always the top of a streams bank, especially where there are multiple flood plains and terrace surfaces (to be illustrated later)
31 Bankfull Cont. Do to natural and anthropogenic caused downcutting and widening the stream can become entrenched and contain flood events within its banks. In rare situations (do to deteriorated watershed conditions) streams can become entrenched because of excessive sedimentation of the flood plain (see Trimble, 1981, Southwestern Wisconsin).

42 BANKFULL INDICATORS CONTINUED 4. A break in the slope angle of the streambank. 5. The tops of the point bars or other sediment deposits (This is typically considered the lowest elevation to be considered as potentially the bankfull surface.) 6. The average elevation of the highest surface of the channel bars.
43 BANKFULL INDICATORS CONTINUED 7. The elevation of the upper limit of sand sized particles in the boundary sediment. 8. The elevation at which the width/depth ratio of the cross-section section is a minimum (requires plotting cross-section). section). 9.

64 Conclusions Field data used for stream classification are most useful if it is used in both evaluation and in design. This is true for both Rosgen and CEM (Schumm et al. & Simon) stream classification systems.
65 Conclusions (Continued) The Rosgen, Schumm et al. (& Simon) and Montgomery and Buffington classification systems are complimentary even though they use different terminology. All three systems are broadly applicable.
66 Conclusions (continued) The Rosgen Stream Classification System is the most practical and applicable stream classification ever developed. It has no equal in terms of communication of what a stream looks like. However people do need training in its use particularly in how to identify bankfull stage for various stream types. Regional curves can be developed for bankfull depth, width, cross-sectional sectional area and discharge. Regional bankfull curves are and excellent tool to establish depositional features and their associated bankfull indicators in the field
67 Conclusions (Continued) The Rosgen Stream Classification System reflects both morphology and process. Rosgen s stream classification system is based on geomorphic measurements and indicators taken at bankfull discharge. The term bankfull discharge is sometimes used interchangeably with the term effective discharge and/or the term channel-forming flow; yet, their meanings are distinct and should be explained as such because under specific circumstances such as channel incision, bankfull discharge and effective discharge may vary significantly.
68 Conclusion (Continued) It is believed that the discharge or flow at the bankfull is most effective to carry sediments overtime (Leopold, 1994). Though the formation process of a natural channel is complex, there are quantifiable and consistent patterns for the process, especially at the bankfull stage (Leopold et al., 1964).
69 Conclusions (Continued) When Rosgen Stream Classification System is used in concert with the Schumm et al. CEM or the Simon CEM that reflect process and trend, one has an outstanding combination available for streambank practitioners.
