Abstract
Dam removal projects are becoming increasingly common, yet the accuracy of quantitative sediment predictions remains uncertain. This situation results because of a general lack of scientific monitoring during dam removals, and the fact that the majority of dams that have been removed are small in size. Resource managers dealing with dam removal projects rely heavily on results from predictive numerical modeling to assess environmental impacts on the human environment. If the models are not properly applied, predicted impacts can be erroneous. This paper provides some guidance for the application of numerical sediment transport models to improve their accuracy and utility for dam removal investigations.
