"Where’s the Mud? Understanding Sediment," by Dave Heimann, U.S. Geological Survey

Download Transcript: http://kcdv.tv/big-muddy-speakers-ser... Where’s the Mud? Understanding sediment sources and storage in the Big Muddy Tuesday, May 23, 2017 The movement of sediment plays a huge role in the ecology and hydrology of the Missouri River.With bank stabilization and massive upstream reservoirs blocking sediment flow, the Lower Missouri River carries about 1/5 of the sediment load that it did historically. Dave Heimann will look deeper at where that sediment is in the system, and how that effects other aspects of the river. The presentation will include a historical perspective of sediment measurements on the Missouri River beginning with those made by Lewis and Clark through the present sediment monitoring conducted by the USGS. A summary of a recent USGS-Army Corps of Engineers study to develop a sediment budget of the lower Missouri River will be discussed along with the use of sediment information in the management and restoration of the Missouri River.
