PREFACE

The purpose of the workshop was to obtain oplnlons on the state-of-
the-art in determining downstream changes in river channels which result
from water diversions and reservoir construction. For this work.shop
three problems were selected and data assembled for each. Each
participant then used the supplied data to determine, within the limits
of the data supplied and the resources available, the nature of the
change in the river channel which would result from some theoretical
reservoir construction upstream. Two factors should be noted when
reading the workshop papers:

1. the data supplied was a sub-set of the total data available,
and

2. the participants had very limited resources to do their
analysis.

Al so the state-of-the-art of mathematical model ing using computer
programs was not explicitly considered in the results of the work.shop.
For these reasons, the results of the workshop should not be applied
without modification to any water management concerns about the real
rivers used for these data sets; in other words, a prudent individual
working on anyone of these three rivers would use the papers in this
proceeding as a very useful guide but do their own data collection and
analysis. The appendix material included is representative of the data
supplied; the purpose of including these data is to allow readers to
read the papers and then use the appendix data in formulating their own
approach to estimating the changes in the river channel.
