Interactions class
1. Getting and understanding watershed flux data
2. Influence of Large Woody Debris (LWD) on rivers
3. Influence of Hillslope materials and processes on rivers
4. Influence of the Atmosphere on rivers, 1927 flood example

Sediment Transport Through RiversBedload -- material moving along the bed, shear forces exerted by water sufficient to move clasts -- rarely measured (at % level)
Suspended Load -- material kept in the water column by turbulence and lift forces (easy to measure in grab samples)
Bedload usually <<< than suspended load and ignored
Dissolved Load -- material in solution (easy to measure in grab samples)
Dissolved load varies, usually < than suspended load

Data Manipulation1. Data supplied in mg/l (1/1000 g per 1000 g) or ppm2. Need to sum all constituents (Ca, Na, Mg, Cl, C03)3. Need to know daily flow (in liters). How many liters/m3?4. Multiply concentration by flow
Ca Na Mg Flow

• Antecedence --Rainfall during the month of October averaged about 150 percent of normal across the state. In northern and central sections, some stations received 200-300 percent of normal.

Cause of the 1927 Flood
Mositure-laden air was forced to rise as it encountered the Green Mountains, resulting in torrential downpours. Rainfall in Northfield totaled 1.65 inches from 4:00 am to 11:00 am on the 3rd, with 4.24 inches falling from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. The total from late evening of the 2nd to late morning on the 4th was 8.71 inches.

Wednesday Lab
• Meet in classroom
• Move to the field, Bolton
• Cooler weather, be prepared.
• Wear sturdy shoes please
