Full textEskilstuna has been an industrial town for a long time which has caused emissions of mostly metal contaminants but also organic substances in to the Eskilstuna river. Samples from the sediment shows high content of some pollutants. Contaminated sediments can cause environmental and health hazards. Therefore, it is of importance to locate accumulation areas in the riverbed to avoid resuspension of the sediment, for preventing further transport downstream, and it may be of use if remediation measures becomes necessary. In this thesis the distribution of metal contaminants in the Eskilstuna river were investigated and accumulation areas located. A sediment transport model, based on the bathymetry, was implemented in the river analysis system HEC-RAS. The results from the model were later analyzed in the geographical information system ArcGIS and compared to the riverbeds hardness and the sediment samples. The sediment transport model showed an accumulation area in the river where it flows through the city center and the riverbed is relatively soft. The highest concentrations of most pollutants were found further downstream where the riverbed has a higher relative hardness. However, if only the neighbouring areas are compared to this locations the accumulation area is soft with a relative large depth. As a conclusion, one may have to take both bathymetry and the riverbeds hardness into account when locating accumulation areas.

Full textAls marges dels continents hi ha les zones costaneres, regions d’altra productivitat biològica. Les zones costaneres inclouen, entre d’altres, els aiguamolls, que són zones terrestres inundades permanentment o estacionalment, caracteritzades per la presència de vegetació aquàtica adaptada a sols hídrics. És per tant necessari considerar l’efecte de les praderies aquàtiques en les investigacions en aiguamolls. Aquestes àrees estan governades per forces físiques originades per corrents de marees, ones, vent, conveccions nocturnes i inundacions. L’objectiu d’aquesta tesi és estudiar el transport de sediments en aiguamolls on el fluid és dominat per a) ones progressives, b) turbulència gairebé isòtropa i c) inundacions extremes

Full textEsta tesis estudia la dinámica hidro-sedimentaria de ríos mediterráneos, tanto ‘naturales’ como regulados por presas. Con este objetivo, se ha realizado un estudio a escala multi-temporal y multi-espacial, que incluye trabajo de campo en tramos de río representativos, análisis de datos a nivel de cuenca, y experimentos en canales de laboratorio. La alteración hidrológica aguas abajo de los embalses se ha observado a diferentes escalas temporales, afectando notablemente la magnitud y frecuencia de las crecidas. A nivel sedimentario, se observa un déficit de sedimentos, lo que facilita el establecimiento de biofilm y, a la vez, favorece la estabilización del lecho del río. Además, el almacenamiento temporal de sedimentos en el lecho modula el balance y regula la entrada de sedimentos en embalses. La tesis muestra los efectos de un conjunto de actividades antrópicas en procesos fluviales y en la alteración en las interacciones bio-físicas del río, y enfatiza la necesidad de una gestión continua para la preservación de los ecosistemas fluviales.
This PhD thesis studies hydro-sedimentary dynamics in Mediterranean rivers, both in ‘natural’ and in dammed rivers. For this purpose, a multi-temporal and spatial research was carried out, including field measurements in representative river reaches, data analysis at the basin scale, and experiments in artificial streams. The hydrological alteration downstream from dams was documented at different temporal scales, notably affecting the magnitude and frequency of floods. Regarding sediments, a severe deficit was observed below dams, a fact that facilitates the establishment of biofilm which, in turn, favours river bed stabilisation. Moreover, the study shows how in-channel storage influences the river sediment budget and regulates sediment input in reservoirs. The thesis examines the effects of a suit of human activities on fluvial processes and how this alter rivers’ bio-physical interactions, and emphasises the need of continuous monitoring of all these processes to achieve a sound management of fluvial ecosystems.

Full textEstuaries are complex water bodies and differ considerably from fluvial river systems. In estuaries the flow reverses regularly due to the tidal currents and flow depths depend primarily on the tides and not the flow. An estuary has two sources of sediment: the river during floods and the ocean that supplies marine sediment through littoral drift which is transported by tidal currents into the estuary. Oversimplified models cannot be used to investigate the hydrodynamics and geomorphology of an estuary due to its complexity. Sedimentation of South African estuaries has created several environmental and social problems. Sediment transport imbalances have been caused by changes in the river catchments such as increased sediment yields and flood peak attenuation due to dam construction. Historically floods used to flush estuaries to maintain the long-term sediment balance in the river-estuary system, but with reduced flood peaks, sediment transport capacities at the estuaries are reduced and flushing efficiency decreased, resulting in marine transport dominating in many estuaries. Two-dimensional (horizontal, 2DH) numerical models have been found to be appropriate tools for studying hydro- and sediment dynamics in SA estuaries. The modelling shows that the sediment balance in the estuary relies on a delicate balance between dominant flood and ebb flows. Although the models performed very well, there are still additional processes to include such as time varying roughness changes and cohesive sediments. For long-term and long reach simulations, onedimensional (or quasi-two-dimensional) models will also be required in future. Mathematical modeling can be used to simulate the flushing of sediments during floods, but attempts should be made to calibrate these models when adequate field data become available in the future. The modelling has shown that floods play a very important part in estuarine sediment transport processes. Physical modelling was undertaken of the breaching of an estuary mouth. The main aim was to illustrate the merits of breaching at higher water levels as well as to investigate the changes in the mouth during breaching. The data obtained from the experiments were used to calibrate and verify a mathematical model. Mathematical modelling of the breaching process at the Klein River estuary confirms what has been observed during numerous breachings in the field, i.e. that breaching at higher water levels and towards the southeast side is more effective. Sediment transport by both waves and currents was investigated. It was found that with increasing wave and stream power, sediment transport rates would increase if both waves and currents travelled in the same direction. In contrast, it seems that with the current direction opposing that of the waves, Hydraulics of Estuarine Sediment Transport Dynamics in South Africa iii greater wave heights resulted in lower sediment transport rates. A new sediment transport equation, based on stream power, wave power, as well as sediment size was calibrated and verified, and compared to the well-known Bijker formula.
