A Novel Method for River Bank Detection from Landsat Satellite Data: A Case Study in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Giovanni De Cesare, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

River bank (RB) erosion is a global issue aecting livelihoods and properties of millions of people. However, it has not received enough attention in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), i.e., the world’s third largest delta, compared to salinity intrusion an ...

Influence of geometry shape factor on trapping and flushing efficiencies

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

The trap efficiency of a shallow reservoir depends on the characteristics of the inflowing sediments and the retention time of the water in the reservoir, which in turn are controlled by the reservoir geometry. With the purpose of controlling the trapped a ...

Reservoir Sediment Management Using Replenishment : A Numerical Study Of Nunome Dam

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush, Sébastien Cajot

Improving the integration of dams in the natural environment and recovering their storage capacity lost to sedimentation are two topics of growing concern. To address these two issues, the accumulated sediments are being relocated down into the dam's tail ...

LSPIV implementation for environmental flow in various laboratory and field cases

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) is an extension of a quantitative imaging technique to measure water surface velocities using simple and inexpensive equipment. This paper describes the implementation of imaged-based LSPIV in eight different ...

2011

Depositional and flow patterns are first described to gain an understanding of the erosion patterns during hydraulic flushing in a reservoir. Considering the importance of this issue, two modes of flushing operation for control of sedimentation were perfor ...

Shallow reservoirs are threatened by fast filling up with sediments, even if the entering sediments are only suspended loads. The sedimentation process is strongly influenced by the geometry of such shallow reservoirs. In the framework of a research projec ...

Channel formation during flushing of large shallow reservoirs with different geometries

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Taylor & Francis2009

Shallow depth flow fields and low velocity magnitudes are often challenges for traditional velocity measuring instruments. As such, new techniques have been developed that provide more reliable velocity measurements under these circumstances. In the presen ...

Experimental study on the influence of the geometry of shallow reservoirs on flow patterns and sedimentation by suspended sediments

Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

The worst enemy of sustainable use of reservoirs is sedimentation. Often the main silting process is the result of settling down of suspended sediments. In shallow reservoirs the flow pattern and the sediment deposition processes are strongly influenced by ...
