Network Characteristics In Suburbanizing Streams, William Graf Dec 2010

Network Characteristics In Suburbanizing Streams, William Graf

William L. Graf

Analysis of hydrologic, geomorphic, and suburbanization data from a small instrumented drainage basin near Iowa City, Iowa, indicates that channel networks are radically altered when suburban development overtakes a drainage basin. Changes in channel networks are such that the network becomes much more efficient in collecting water quickly, so that lag time and kurtosis of storm hydrographs are altered to produce the familiar flash floods of urban areas. The data show that network changes are closely associated with lag time and kurtosis of storm hydrographs and suggest that corrective measures should be concentrated on the internal links of the network. …

Downstream Changes In Stream Power In The Henry Mountains, Utah, William Graf Dec 2010

Downstream Changes In Stream Power In The Henry Mountains, Utah, William Graf

William L. Graf

Total stream power does not necessarily increase systematically in the downstream direction because of the conflicting influences of channel slope, width, and depth. Historical records and field data for arroyo systems of the northern Henry Mountains, south-central Utah, show that total stream power decreased in the downstream direction during a deposition period before 1896 and increased downstream during an erosion period thereafter. When total stream power declined in the downstream direction, channels were small and meandering, and the ten-year flood exceeded channel capacity, resulting in overbank deposition of sediment. After an especially erosive flood in 1896, total stream power increased …


Locational Probability For A Dammed, Urban Stream: Salt River, Arizona, William Graf Dec 2010

Locational Probability For A Dammed, Urban Stream: Salt River, Arizona, William Graf

William L. Graf

Data from historical aerial photographs analyzed with a GIS show that river channel change on the Salt River in the Phoenix metropolitan area of central Arizona has been driven by large-scale regional flood events and local human activities. Mapping of functional surfaces such as low-flow channels, high-flow channels, islands, bars attached to channel banks, and engineered surfaces shows that during the period from 1935 to 1997, the relative areal coverage of these surfaces has changed. Flood events have caused general changes in sinuosity of the low-flow channel, but islands have remained remarkably consistent in location and size, while channel-side bars …

Variability Of Sediment Removal In A Semi-Arid Watershed, William L. Graf Dec 2010

Variability Of Sediment Removal In A Semi-Arid Watershed, William L. Graf

William L. Graf

Field and documentary data from Walnut Gulch Watershed, an instrumented semiarid drainage basin of approximately 150 km2 (57 mi2) in southeastern Arizona, show that 83% of the alluvium removed from the basin during a 15‐year erosion episode beginning about 1930 was excavated from the highest‐order stream. The amount of alluvium removed in the erosion episode would have been equal to a covering of about 4 cm (1.6 in) over the entire basin. The rate of sediment removal during the erosion episode was 18 times greater than the rate of present channel sediment transport. Production of sediment from slopes and channel …


Inside The Beltway: Geography At The National Research Council, William Graf Dec 2010

Inside The Beltway: Geography At The National Research Council, William Graf

William L. Graf

Professor Graf provides ample reason why all geographers need to be cognizant of the work by the National Research Councils (NRC) two bodies focussed on mapping issues.“The importance of the two geography committees at NRC is that they give American geographers a voice in issues of national and international importance, and they put geographers on a similar footing with physicists, chemists, medical specialists, biologists, and other scientists.” Read about what has been done and how to get involved…only at Directions Magazine.

Fluvial Adjustments To Spread Of Tamarisk In Colorado Plateau Region, William Graf Dec 2010

Fluvial Adjustments To Spread Of Tamarisk In Colorado Plateau Region, William Graf

William L. Graf

Tamarisk, a shrub or low tree that was artificially introduced into the American Southwest in the late 1800s, has spread throughout the Colorado Plateau region by occupying islands, sand bars, and beaches along streams. Historical photographs show that tamarisk spread from northern Arizona to the upper reaches of the Colorado and Green Rivers at a rate of about 20 km/yr. Detailed studies on the Green River in Canyonlands National Park, Utah, show that the plant has trapped and stabilized sediment, causing an average reduction in channel width of 27%. Photogrammetric analysis of historical ground photography, including photos from John Wesley …

William L. Graf

The state of the art in the relations between morphology of small streams and sediment yield is assessed. Research findings and recommendations for additional research are presented. Topics include systems and interactions, simulation models, channel forms and processes, transport of sediment in small streams, and aspects of channel morphology. Selected topics for additional research are also included.
