Flow patterns around longitudinal training dams
No full textWith the intention to reduce the negative effects of ongoing bed erosion, as well as to improve several other river functions such as protection against floods, provision of safe and efficient navigation and ecology, a ‘pilot project longitudinal training dams’ was initiated. The training dams have recently been implemented in the Waal between Tiel and Sind Andries. In this project, river groynes have been completely removed and replaced by dams that lie parallel to the river bank. With help of the longitudinal training dams, a two-channel river system is created in which the river is divided into a main and side channel. The dams are placed in a continuous manner with openings in between that are relatively small compared to the dam length. At the beginning and end of the dam an inlet and outlet region is situated, as shown in Fig. 1. The combination of inlet and openings allows for water and sediment to be divided between the main and the side channel. Both inlet and openings are constructed with the help of a porous rock-layer. The crest heights can be altered by adding or removing stones. This is expected to influence the amount of water and sediment entering the side channel and can therefore be used as a regulation tool.
