Phase 1 Sediment Engineering Investigation of the Caliente Creek Drainage Basin

摘要

This report summarizes the procedures used for computing the basinwide annualyields and single event sediment production for ephemeral channels located on an incised alluvial fan in Central California. Unique geomorphic characteristics of the basin and alluvial fan are discussed in light of data and analytical methods necessary to compute sediment delivery and yield at a proposed damsite.
