Buildup And Infill Rates Of Sediment Behind Cedarcliff Falls Dam, Tyler K. Dix
Buildup And Infill Rates Of Sediment Behind Cedarcliff Falls Dam, Tyler K. Dix
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Cedarcliff Falls Dam is a small man-made masonry dam that was constructed around 1869. The dam impounds a pool of water that is a half-mile long on Massie’s Creek near Cedarville, Ohio. This project’s goal was to ascertain the infill rate and character of the sediment that had built up since 1869. The field work involved the measurement of water depth through the length of the pool in order to create a bottom-contour map. In addition, the sediment type was examined throughout the pool. This work was accomplished by use of a boat, stadia rod, handheld GPS unit, and a …

Derivation Of Correction Coefficients For Stream Velocities, Upper Little Miami River Basin, Oh, Matthew S. Cheney
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The simplest method of determining stream velocity involves measuring how long it takes a floating object or material to move a certain distance downstream. This study tested a dog toy (mini tennis ball), a 2 inch diameter piece of pumice, a playing card, a full 16.9 oz. water bottle, and milk. The floats were released where the maximum velocity of the stream was found through the use of profiling with a simple flowmeter. The real-time data from a USGS-gaged stream only shows discharge and gage height (stage); it does not show velocity. However, the historic USGS-technician stream-flow-verification data for a …
