We interpret the optimal connected floodplain at a specific cross section of a river as an indicator of the relative impact of floodplain access at that location to bridge scour.
These classifications with a membership grade can be of a sound support for decision-making, and can help assign each section of a river a gradual quality sub-objective to be reached.
Realize though, that water can be deeper and swifter at bend sections, so always look for the best 'run off' section of a river that will carry you to a safe point and not into danger if you lose your footing.
River transverse profiles show a cross-section of a river's channel and valley at certain position in the river's course.
Simulation of water levels at different sections of a river using physically based flood routing models is quite cumbersome, because it requires many types of data such as hydrologic time series, river geometry, hydraulics of existing control structures and channel roughness coefficients.
Rafting companies often offer different trips on "sections" of a river, so if you have small children or others who may be excluded from a full river trip, check out options for them.
We calculated how many times the Euclidian distance between each pair of samples intersected with a section of a major river or a highway using hawth's tools.
I persuaded an adventurous friend, Matt, to join me (read: bribed him with beer), and we decided to cycle up a section of the river Lea, a 42-mile tributary of the Thames that flows from Leagrave, Bedfordshire, to Bow Creek, east London.
That section of the river, by River Park just below a small waterfall, runs near housing projects and other residential areas and is a popular swimming hole.
One plan, to be undertaken with Westchester County, would polish and improve JFK Marina, north of the Glenwood power plant, with an amphitheater at Trevor Park and new sections of a pedestrian river esplanade walkway that might someday go all the way to the edge of Putnam County.
Due to an incomplete removal, the total concentration of target EDCs increased obviously in the mixing and downstream sections of a local river receiving the effluent from a typical WWTF (practicing AS).
