This document summarizes experiences with mixing zones in the Netherlands. It describes the development of a tiered approach and discharge test used to assess mixing zones. The discharge test was developed in 2000 and has been updated in 2011 and 2015. It provides a fast, simple way to determine if a discharge will comply with water quality standards after mixing, or if more complex modeling is needed. A tiered approach is used where discharges are first screened and then assessed using the discharge test or complex modeling if needed. The discharge test calculations consider background mixing and additional plume or jet mixing based on the receiving water type.

Deltares

The document summarizes a modeling project to simulate coastal wetland, estuarine, and riverine systems in Louisiana. It involved a team effort between multiple organizations. The goal was to develop a validated model to simulate morphological processes during new delta and wetland creation, as well as nutrient effects on vegetation and primary producers. The modeling approach coupled hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, and nutrient dynamic modules. Nine production runs were planned using different scenarios of sediment diversion operations and environmental conditions over 50 years. Model calibration and validation showed good performance in simulating river hydrology and morphology change. The scenarios suggested that operating multiple sediment diversions could significantly build land compared to no diversions.

Using infrared to monitor chinook salmon and other species in turbid waters

FISHBIO

Monitoring the fish community is already a challenging feat even on the clearest of days and in the easiest of conditions. Data collection can be time and cost intensive, water clarity can be dismal, methods to actively monitor fishes continue to grow more restrictive, and species are being categorized as imperiled across the world every year. These conditions make passive monitoring methods even more attractive in the evolving world of fisheries. In 2003, FISHBIO incorporated the Vaki Riverwatcher, an infrared camera monitoring system, into their repertoire of sampling methods to monitor adult fish passage at weirs. Over the past 12 monitoring seasons, FISHBIO and Vaki have worked together to fine-tune, adapt, and evolve the Riverwatcher into a highly effective passive monitoring tool. This technology is currently deployed on several rivers throughout the Pacific Northwest. It can be adapted to fit into several structures including fish ladders and other passageways. Data from the Riverwatcher can be used to characterize fish passage by species, lengths, and sex even in turbid water. This tool continues to be beneficial in the long-term data collection of the fish community and has proven to be an effective application for fisheries management.

This study examined the evolution of the Kenický meander of the Morava River after a neck cutoff occurred between February 25 and March 3, 2012. The cutoff shortened the river by 476 m and reduced its sinuosity from 2.155 to 1.475. Measurements of transverse profiles, water levels, sediment samples, and electrical resistivity tomography were used to analyze the changes. Dominant accumulation was observed in profiles P4, P5, P7, and P8, while erosion occurred in the active channel at P11 and P12. Coarse sediments were found on the developing alluvial plugs, with finer sediments deposited in the former meander area. Layers of fine sediments up to 0

Deltares

This document presents a methodology for calculating flushing times in estuaries that accounts for temporal variations in forcing factors like river flow and tides, as well as spatial variations in geometry and bathymetry. The methodology is applied to the Suances Estuary in Cantabria, Spain. Results show that river flow is the main forcing in the inner estuary and main channel, while tides dominate in the mouth and intertidal flats. Flushing time is found to be relatively independent of forcing factors in the estuarine reach. The developed methodology and results can inform water management and monitoring efforts.

Reservoir monitoring using multiple satellite systems

Minh Shines

This document discusses using satellite imagery to monitor reservoir storage levels in Vietnam independently. It proposes merging Landsat, Sentinel-2, and radar altimetry data, which combined could provide observations every 5 days or less globally. The method involves extracting water areas over time using various indices and digital elevation models to generate storage-area curves and estimate storage changes. Validation is done using in-situ data and radar altimetry. The conclusions state this approach could cost-effectively monitor reservoirs where ground data is limited and improve understanding of complex water systems.

Deltares

This study analyzes the impact of dredging processes on turbidity in the Bay of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia. It models dredging scenarios using the Delft3D modeling system to analyze turbidity levels under different climate and seasonal conditions. The study finds that dredging increases turbidity in a localized area around the dredging zone, with concentrations depending on climate factors but generally below 0.2 kg/m3. Dredged material is dispersed in a very localized dump area with no impact on water quality in the bay. The dredging contributes less to turbidity than natural sediment flows from the Dique channel in some scenarios. The study provides information on turbidity levels and exceedance times to inform environmental management

Assessing the ability of SWAT as a water quality model in the Lake Victoria b...

Timo Brussée

There is a need for a water quality model for use in the Lake Victoria basin countries in East-Africa. The region is characterised by data scarcity, a tropical climate and riverine, lacustrine tidal wetlands which form an important buffer to riverine pollution of the lake. These characteristics of the basin form a challenge for water quality models. The objective is to state the strengths and weaknesses of a potential water quality model under these challenging conditions. This objective is executed with the soil water assessment tool (SWAT) in a catchment of the Lake Victoria Basin as pilot area. The pilot area of the Mara river basin is hydrologically complex containing tropical and plantation forest, savanna, grasslands, bi-annual agriculture, shrublands and wetlands. It has varied soil types and bi-annual rain seasons The study consist of literature research and flow simulation of the transboundary Mara river basin. The model study aims to characterise the hydrology in the pilot area. The study includes a thorough analysis of rainfall, stage and flow data. Model preparation steps include the use of weighted-area rainfall estimation methods, climate model data and empirical derivation of soil input parameters. Discharge calibration methods include multi-site calibration, by making use of an alternative objective function statistic for the commonly used Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) called the Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE). The literature study targets previous flow and water quality studies done in tropical or wetland areas, thereby looking to see how these studies adapted to hydrological modelling with SWAT in tropical or wetland areas, and why theses adaptions were made. The literature research also includes a comparison of wetland processes in SWAT with the physical, biological and chemical processes as described in previous studies. The Mara river basin flow simulation gave a satisfactory model performance for two out of three calibration sites, thereby being able to give preliminary outputs on water-balance and other flow characteristics. During research, a number of model, knowledge and data gaps were found to be critical for better understanding the hydrological and water quality system workings in the Lake Victoria and Mara river basin. From the model and literature study it is concluded that several issues on data scarcity and hydrological model processes in the tropics can be overcome. These do not necessarily decrease model performance or uncertainty in the SWAT model. However, wetland processes are oversimplified in SWAT. Modification and coupled SWAT models yet have not been able to provide an alternative to the default model that adequately represents the main flow, sediment and nutrients processes and fluxes that are present in Mara’s wetlands.

Assessment of reservoir sedimentation by remote sensing

Anjani Kumari

This document discusses using remote sensing to assess sedimentation in reservoirs. It describes how conventional hydrographic surveys are costly and tedious, while remote sensing techniques offer a modern alternative. Satellite remote sensing can be used to estimate storage capacity loss in reservoirs due to sedimentation. The methodology involves preprocessing satellite data, identifying water pixels, and computing reservoir capacity. Water pixels are identified using a modified normalized difference water index method. Capacity between elevations is then computed using a prismoidal formula and water spread areas at corresponding elevations.

David Fratantoni

This document discusses the oceanography of Brazil's Equatorial Margin and strategies for mitigating the impact of strong ocean currents. It notes that the region has significant development opportunities but also operational challenges from currents that are strong, variable, and poorly understood. It proposes a regional ocean observing and prediction system using in-situ measurements and ocean models to improve situational awareness of currents and enhance safety of offshore operations. A prototype of such a system is now operational, deploying surface drifters every two weeks and running a regional ocean model daily.

Deltares

This document discusses a web application called UITZICHT that simulates Secchi depth and light penetration in water. It models the complex interactions of light underwater, which is impacted by inherent optical properties like absorption and scattering, and apparent optical properties like Secchi depth. Key factors that influence light levels include chlorophyll, total suspended matter, inorganic solids, colored dissolved organic matter, and bottom depth. The application was developed by converting the original FORTRAN code from a 1995 publication into JavaScript for a web interface. It can run in any modern browser on computers, tablets and phones to easily share light modeling capabilities.

DSD-INT 2015 - monitoring Maasvlakte 2 impact - ir. William Borst

Deltares

Construction of Maasvlakte 2 began in 2009 and involved extracting 300 million cubic meters of sand from a borrow area 10 km offshore using a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger. An environmental impact assessment was conducted and identified potential effects like increased turbidity levels reducing primary production and availability of food for protected species. Monitoring of silt concentration was required every two weeks during construction at three cross sections, but POR developed an alternative modeling approach using remote sensing data assimilated into a hydrodynamic model called MoS2 to produce silt atlases for validation instead of direct measurements.
