In-Stream Obstructions and the Formation of Pools and Scour Holes
Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration
Abstract
A model for pool and scour hole development in gravel-bed streams based on the size of an obstruction developed in the Pacific northwest is tested in southwest Montana. Analysis of the data suggest that the general form of the empirical relationships may be valid but the coefficients for the equations differ. Variations may be due to measurement error, differences in stream setting and character, woody debris removal, or some other unrecognized source of variability.
