Abstract |
The Objective of the Workshop was to survey the possible consequences of the increased delivery of sediments from the Susquehanna river to the Chesapeake Bay as a result of the loss of retention of sediment storage in the reservoirs behind the existing dams on the river. The material presented emphasized the complexity of the possible effects of increases in sediment discharge to the Bay and of the increase in severity of scouring events. This is compounded by our inability to forecast the timing or intensity of these scouring events in the river and reservoirs. |
