1 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers River Bank Erosion Siskiwit River, Cornucopia, WI

2 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers Sediment Budgets Upland Sources Streambank Sources From Reid & Dunne, Rapid Assessment of Sediment Budgets, 1996

3 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers How Do we Measure Bank Erosion?

4 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes Bank Erosion Project The Big Questions… What are bank erosion rates in Great Lakes rivers? How significant is the bank component in Great Lakes sediment budgets? What are bank erosion rates in Great Lakes rivers? How significant is the bank component in Great Lakes sediment budgets?

5 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers The Big Questions…continued Are there simple methods that can be used to estimate bank erosion rates in the field? Answer…No

6 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers Lateral Movement of bank. Measured in feet/year Resisting Force Intrinsic property of bank. Function of: Soil Vegetation Bank Angle Etc. Driving Force Property of the hydraulics. Function of: Near Bank Shear Stress Bank Erosion

7 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers Bank Erodability How do we determine how susceptible a bank is to erosion?

8 Detroit District, Hydraulics & Hydrology Office US Army Corps of Engineers Predicting Bank Erosion Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI)
