Two Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling of the Lower Skokomish River
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation's Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Group SRH-2D model was applied to the lower 10 miles of the Skokomish River, WA. This was in conjunction with a Geomorphic Study of the reach. The river is aggrading and is therefore limited in its ability to convey flood flows. The 2D model was used to identify channel capacity and areas within the reach where overbank flooding occurs. The model was applied to existing conditions in the reach, and may be used in the future for proposed changes to improve channel capacity.
