TY - JOUR T1 - Estimating the depth and length of sediment deposition at slope transitions on alluvial fans during flood events JF - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation SP - 521 LP - 522 VL - 50 IS - 5 AU - Richard H. French Y1 - 1995/09/01 UR - http://www.jswconline.org/content/50/5/521.abstract N2 - In this paper, a method of estimating the length and maximum depth of sediment deposition on an alluvial fan during a flood event is proposed-specifically when the longitudinal slope of the conveyance channel changes from steep to mild. This addresses a critical and current problem in designing facilities to mitigate flood damage on alluvial fans in arid and semi-arid environments. ER -
