Watershed Assessment of River Stability and Sediment Supply (WARSSS)

About this book

A geomorphology-based procedure to quantify the effects of land uses on sediment supply and channel stability. Implements a three-phase assessment to quickly identify processes and land uses responsible for erosion channel instability and disproportionate sediment supply Provides a cumulative watershed impact analysis to prioritize mitigation Assesses watershed condition needed for river restoration planning and design Developed in partnership with the USEPA for national application for impaired rivers Includes a CD-ROM of worksheets
