Vegetated Swales in Urban Stormwater Modeling and Management
… to the following modeling scenarios: base, base check dam height, minimum check dam height, maximum check dam height, minimum infiltration rate, maximum infiltration rate, minimum Manning's n, maximum Manning's n, minimum longitudinal slope, and maximum longitudinal slope. Peak flow rate, volume, …

An integrated modeling and decision tool for improved drinking water reliability in rural villages of India
… to changes in climatic conditions, land use, check dam properties and hydrologic parameters like porosity and hydraulic conductivity. We show that factors like evapotranspiration, hydraulic conductivity and properties of check dam bottom soil have significant impact on local water supply. …

Evaluation of check dams for sediment control on disturbed land surfaces
… to evaluate the suitability of using check dams as an erosion control practice on military bases. Military readiness and effectiveness is enhanced by constant training and use of their lands; this training leaves the landscape disturbed and more susceptible to erosion. Check dams are …

Development of a research and demonstration facility for the evaluation of stormwater runoff, erosion control, and sediment control best management practices
… on the berm. A demonstration of three different check dam series was performed in the channels, and various flow conditions used to explore evaluation methodology. Five demonstration vegetation plots with different cover practices for a native grass seed mixture were implemented and monitored to …

EFFECTIVENESS OF STRAW BALE CHECK DAMS AT REDUCING POST-FIRE SEDIMENT YIELDS FROM EPHEMERAL CHANNEL CATCHMENTS
… The USDA Forest Service installs straw bale check dams in ephemeral channels to reduce sedimentation rates from small catchments. We set out to study if straw bale check dams effectively reduce sedimentation rates from five paired catchments following the 2010 Twitchell Canyon Fire in south …
