Additionally, there are debris dams in various areas on the creek.

The debris dam was replaced with a permanent diversion wall.

Debris Dams are used to redirect the river so it will follow a natural flow.

There is also a debris dam on the creek near Edwards Street.

Here flow is further slowed and flood water stored by over 160 large woody debris dams.

The effort is a race against rising waters that could collapse the debris dam, devastating communities downstream where more than 1 million people live.

At one point where a debris dam nearly blocked the stream flow, the water had overflowed the banks.

On April 2, with the river flowing in a new channel at the north end of the debris dam, the flash flood watch was lifted.

Debris dams and their role in nutrient flux.

Flooding due to the partially obstructed river continued to occur upstream of the debris dam.

At debris dam locations, bankfull width was greater and stream substrates consisted of increased fines.

Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond.

During the development of the lake, breaching and reforming of the debris dam occurred following each lahar episode.

The Debris Dam Formation is a geologic formation in California.

Hazards include fast water, rocky ledges, submerged or floating logs, a "nasty chute", and a debris dam.

Crews were expected to work on widening the channel for the next three to five days, said the report, which showed them toiling beneath the debris dam.

Glacial meltwater formed a lake near the present town of Ansonia, and when it overflowed the debris dam, the creek flooded to the south.

The resulting lake created the floodability threat, because the accumulated huge amount of water threatened to breach the debris dam and flood the Adda valley.

There are similarities between the beaver dam fauna and the faunas of debris dams, woody snags, and lake outlets.

A less than 10 m riparian buffer zone and natural debris dams provided leaf litter and so more food for invertebrates and fish.

Performance Parameters for Spring Creek Debris Dam.

Because of concerns the mud and debris dam could fail and cause downstream flooding, a flash flood watch was issued by the National Weather Service.

Debris dams are a type of detention dam used to collect sediment to prevent it from flowing into areas where large sediment buildup may be damaging.

This item will create dams (check dams or woody debris dams in woodland) that slow the movement of water in small natural streams and ditches.

Near the debris dam on the creek, most of its flow is diverted through a 10-foot (3-meter) wide pressure conduit that carries water through a nearby levee.
