Streambank erosion: mechanisms and mitigation techniques
… a study of the various mechanisms that may cause erosion of streambanks and the corresponding mitigation techniques used to combat them. The determination of each may depend upon a number of considerations. The source of the information comes from a variety of reports and papers, which are …

Quantifying Near-Bank Turbulence Through a Storm Event
… water quality impairment for streams and rivers. Streambank erosion is a dominant source contributing to sediment pollution and there is a growing need for adopting management practices to reduce it. Bank retreat occurs from a combination of fluvial erosion, subaerial processes, and mass failure. …

Trends in stream power and erosion at a suburban stream in Western New York
Streambank erosion is a highly damaging and prevalent nonpoint source pollution that impacts water quality, flow, and ecology. Urban watersheds are particularly sensitive due to a greater proportion of directly connected impervious land cover resulting in increased runoff into streams. Climate …

Analysis of sediment dynamics in intensively managed landscapes
… within the headwaters of the Sangamon River. Erosion of the floodplain both by surface runoff and by streambank erosion contribute to the production of almost all fine sediment sampled within the stream system. The results are consistent both for event and aggregated samples and for large and …

Changes in Streambank Erodibility and Critical Shear Stress Due to Surface Subaerial Processes
… is available on the relationships between streambank erodibility and critical shear stress and environmental conditions and processes that enhance streambank erosion potential. The goal of this study was to investigate temporal changes in streambank erodibility and critical shear stress due …

Enumerating Escherichia coli (E. coli) Concentrations and Evaluating Optical Brighteners as a Potential Indicator of Human Wastewater Contamination in La Nana Bayou, Banita Creek, and their tributaries, Nacogdoches, Texas
… 98% (16,440,015 kg) originating from streambank erosion. This research identified sites at higher risk for <em>E. coli</em> contamination that could affect recreational safety and screened for likely human wastewater sources, providing a foundation for more targeted management and …

Evaluating Streambank Retreat Prediction Using the BANCS Model in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province
… to the environment, economy, and human health. Streambanks account for an estimated 7-92% of sediment and 6-93% of total-phosphorus loads to streams depending on the watershed. Stream stabilization through stream restoration has become a common practice to satisfy the 2010 Chesapeake Bay total …

Using an interdisciplinary approach to improve efficacy of agricultural conservation practices for protecting stream health
… whereas sediment is entering the stream through streambank erosion. Therefore, a combination of conservation practices that stop nitrogen at its source (e.g., nutrient management plans) and stabilize streambanks (e.g., fenced riparian buffers) could be useful for protecting stream health. For …

Boundary Shear Stress Along Vegetated Streambanks
… objectives: (1) evaluating the effects of streambank vegetation on near-bank velocity and turbulence; (2) determining a method for measuring BSS; and, (3) examining the effects of streambank vegetation on BSS using an existing model. A second order prototype stream, with individual reaches …

Temporal and Thermal Effects on Fluvial Erosion of Cohesive Streambank Soils
… United States, the annual cost of on-site soil erosion problems such as soil and nutrient losses, and off-site soil erosion problems such as sedimentation of lakes and river, loss of navigable waterways, flooding and water quality impairment, has been estimated at 44 billion USD (Pimentel, 1995; …
