Towards a tiered framework for an ecotoxicological hazard assessment of fluvial sediments - presentation and early tests

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari

Sediments are an essential component of fluvial ecosystems. They are also quite often a cause of disturbance for fluvial works, such as dams or locks. In order to manage these disturbances without causing adverse impacts downstream, managers should have in ...

UAV based multispectral imaging over a lagoon with corals in Reunion Island

Martin Rehak, Yosef Akhtman, Dragos Constantin, Harold Gabriel Eugène Justin Clenet

A UAV-based hyperspectral survey was carried out in September 2014 over the fringing reef of l’Ermitage, Saint Gilles, Reunion Island. This site is of particular interest because it shows signs of major erosion and is subject to sudden flooding occuring du ...

Ecomorphodynamic approaches to river anabranching patterns

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy

We investigate the influence of vegetation on river morphological instabilities using an analytical framework. We first discuss the important role of the hydrological (flooding frequency) and biological (vegetation development rate) timescales. As long as ...

Laboratory research: bed load guidance into sediment bypass tunnel inlet

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Milad Daneshvari

Sediment management in reservoirs situated in mountainous regions is a critical operational concern with direct implications in live storage sustainability and therefore in production revenues. The paper presents the main results of a physical model study ...

Reactivation of Klingnau reservoir sidearm: Numerical simulation of sediment release downstream

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Philippe Heller

The Klingnau reservoir, situated in north Switzerland, suffers from sedimentation in its left enlargement. The dam is placed in the Aare River about 1 km upstream of its confluence with the Rhine. Due to natural conservation and flood protection reasons, i ...

Integrated flood forecasting and management system in a complex catchment area in the Alps—implementation of the MINERVE project in the Canton of Valais

Javier García Hernández, Bastien Roquier

A complex hydrologic-hydraulic model has been developed for the Upper Rhone River basin in Switzerland. It is currently operational in the Canton of Valais for real-time flood forecasting and management, providing automatic warnings to the crisis cell of t ...

Mapping hazards from glacier lake outburst floods based on modelling of process cascades at Lake 513, Carhuaz, Peru

Javier García Hernández, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, Daniel Schneider

Recent warming has had enormous impacts on glaciers and high-mountain environments. Hazards have changed or new ones have emerged, including those from glacier lakes that form as glaciers retreat. The Andes of Peru have repeatedly been severely impacted by ...

Impact of floods on the statistical distribution of riverbed vegetation

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Investigating the colonization of river bars by pioneer vegetation, we discuss how the balance between uprooting by flooding events and reinforcement of plant roots determines the ability for vegetation to colonize the riverbed. In order to access the comp ...

Has the Three-Gorges Dam made the Poyang Lake wetlands wetter and drier?

David Andrew Barry

The Three-Georges Dam holds many records in the history of engineering. While the dam has produced benefits in terms of flood control, hydropower generation and increased navigation capacity of the Yangtze River, serious questions have been raised concerni ...
