Effect Of Seepage Flow On Reed Canarygrass And Its Ability To Protect Waterways

Excerpt from Effect of Seepage Flow on Reed Canarygrass and Its Ability to Protect Waterways The test flows had no visible effect on the channel except for the scrubbed and combed appearance of the vegetation (fig. Bottom measurements taken after tests 6 and 11 showed a -ft erosion depth over a 10-ft wide center strip. This is an equivalent erosion rate of in/ h for the hours of flow that accumulated during tests 7 through 11. A study by Ree and Palmer2 showed that not until erosion rates exceed in/h does the erosion rate correlate with the mean velocity. Below this rate the indicated erosion rates were not significant. Therefore, the erosion rate of in/h was not excessive, and the grass cover adequately protected the channel.
