<br />ANALYSIS OF RIVER PROCESSES AND PREDICTION OF CHANGES <br /> <br />With the availability of more data it may be possible to make use <br />of available mathematical models to predict the changes to the river. <br /> <br />The use of the HEC-6 scour and deposition computer model developed <br />by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers should enable one to compute the <br />response of the river to changes in sediment loads due to reservoi r <br />construction. It would be necessary to operate the model for a number <br />of releases from the reservoir in order to evaluate the possible aggra- <br />dation through Reach No.3 and its possible backwater effects on. Reach <br />No.2. <br /> <br />Changes to the pool and riffle sequence as well as to meandering <br />cannot be evaluated with a mathematical model, it may be necessary to <br />obtain data from other similar rivers that have ~ndergone major changes <br />in order to predict what will happen to the Vampa River. <br /> <br />28 <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />
