1 River Restoration and Flood Control Pierre Y. Julien Colorado State University South Korea, May 2007 Objectives Brief overview of flood control and river restoration examples from the USA, Malaysia and South Korea. Hydraulic geometry of the Rio Grande

2 Rio Grande near Bernardo, USACE 1963 MEI Bernardo Gage Stream Restoration Concepts #1 There is no cookbook approach to stream restoration projects. #2 Solutions normally require equilibrium conditions between flow and sediment regimes and knowledge of river mechanics and stream ecology. #3 Solutions need to be effective, environmentally acceptable and economical. 2

3 Concept of Equilibrium Concept of Equilibrium Oxbow Preservation 3

4 Access to Oxbows Rio Grande Restoration near Santa Ana Project Goals Protect Levee Create a Functioning Floodplain Improve Wildlife Habitat Rio Grande Restoration Endangered Species Bimodal sand/gravel bed Deep water h ~ 1.20 m Water velocities 1.4 m/s Silvery Minnow Create wider channels Sandy/silty substrate Shallow water h < 0.4 m Water velocities 0.1 m/s < V < 0.5 m/s 4

5 Gradient Restoration Facility River Realignment Construct Bio-engineering Bankline Habitat Improvement Sediment Storage Upstream from GRF Low Velocity Overbank Flows Planting and Natural Reseeding of Native Vegetation 5

6 Stream Restoration Guidelines 1. Clearly define the OBJECTIVES 2. PAST, Present and FUTURE 3. Look at the UPPER WATERSHED 4. Look DOWNSTREAM for degradation 5. EQUILIBRIUM Hydraulic Geometry 6. Appropriate AQUATIC HABITAT 7. Examine various design ALTERNATIVES 8. DESIGN must be Effective, Environmentally sound and Economical 9. Plan CONSTRUCTION for the unexpected 10.
