Sediment Loads and Transport at Constructed Chutes along the Missouri River—Upper Hamburg Chute near Nebraska City, Nebraska, and Kansas Chute near Peru, Nebraska, 2012.

摘要

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, monitored suspended sediment within constructed Missouri River chutes during March through October 2012. Chutes were constructed at selected river bends by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help mitigate aquatic habitat lost through the creation and maintenance of the navigation channel on the Missouri River.
