The Selenga River delta: a geochemical barrier protecting Lake Baikal waters

Yosef Akhtman, Galina Shinkareva, Mikhail Tarasov

The protection of Lake Baikal and the planning of water management measures in the Selenga River Basin require a comprehensive understanding of the current state and functioning of the delta’s ecosystem and hydrogeo- chemical processes. This is particularl ...

Case study – Delta restoration at a steep river mouth

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier

The mouth of the Baye de Clarens torrent in Switzerland is currently constrained by lateral training walls, sequent sills and a bridge with a low hydraulic capacity. Due to a bed load trap upstream, few sediments reach the mouth. To improve flood protectio ...

Sediment Evacuation from Reservoirs through Intakes by Jet-Induced Flow

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Jolanda Maria Isabella Jenzer Althaus

Reservoir sedimentation is considered as a sustainability problem. A concept getting down to the root of the cause was developed and tested in laboratory experiments. The idea is to maintain sediment in suspension, i.e., avoiding its settling near the dam ...

Physical modelling of artificial river replenishment techniques to restore morphological conditions downstream of dams

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Elena Battisacco

First applied in the 1980’s, the artificial replenishment of sediments is one technique proposed to solve the problem of sediment deficit downstream dams. The present experimental research aims at improving the technique of river replenishment and at provi ...

Giant lacustrine pockmarks with subaqueous groundwater discharge and subsurface sediment mobilization

Damien Bouffard

Subsurface fluid flow in oceans and lakes affects bathymetric morphology, sediment distribution, and water composition. We present newly discovered giant lacustrine pockmarks in Lake Neuchatel (up to 160m diameter and 30m deep) that rank among the largest ...

Experimental evaluation of the discharge capacity of flow constrictions by check dams in mountain rivers

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt

Open check dams are built to retain bed load in case of major floods and may have filtering, sieving as well as dosing effects on sediment transport. The combination of an upstream reservoir with an open check dam is designated as bed load trap. These stru ...

Continuous Long-Term Observation of Suspended Sediment Transport between Two Pumped-Storage Reservoirs

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller

Transport of suspended sediment between the two reservoirs of a pumped-storage plant in Switzerland was monitored over an 8-month period. A turbidity probe was installed on the upstream end of the pressure shaft, in which real-time monitoring was ensured b ...

Ripple formation and sediment-suspension events in unsteady depth-varying open-channel flow

Ulrich Lemmin, Fereshteh Bagherimiyab Hunkeler

The development of ripples and its effects on suspended sediment during unsteady flow was studied experimentally to understand and quantify the processes during floods. Quasi-instantaneous profiles of velocity and sediment concentration were taken simultan ...
