Studies of riverbed sediment in selected gauging stations of Przemsza river and its main tributaries

The article presents an assessment of the variability of riverbed sediment throughout the Przemsza river course and its main tributaries in relation with the observed disturbances of grain size changes caused by hydro-engineering activity in the channel. Sediment grain size composition in the river channel depends on the hydrodynamic balance and the water flow. In the stable river channel sediment grain size decreases regularly with the river course from the source to the mouth. In the channel where there are sections of anthropogenically modifications, the variation of sediment grain size composition may be irregular in the river course. The article presents the results of measurements and calculations which were made in the following gauging stations: Łysa Góra, Będzin, Sosnowiec, Jęzor, Chełmek non Przemsza river, in Golczowice, Okradzionów, Sławków, Maczki, Niwka on Biała Przemsza river and in Brynica, Kozłowa Góra (above the back of the reservoir Kozłowa Góra and downstream the dam), Szambelnia on Brynica river. The results of studies showes that variability of characteristic diameter of d10 is minimal, while the diameters of d50 and d90 is characterized by significant differences in all the tested gauging stations of Przemsza river and its tributaries. In Brynica river where ...

Analysis of long-term riverbeds transformation in the selected gauging stations of the Czarna river

The analysis of variability of riverbed elevation recorded at three selected gauging cross-sections: Raków, Staszów and Połaniec on Czarna River is presented in the current paper. The studies concern the period of more than fifty year. Focus was on the analysis of the riverbed changes in relation with known anthropogenic activities in the bed of the river. In addition, an analysis of grine size distribution of sediment forming the river channel was examined. The studie was done in order to identify the structure of riverbed, as well as the intensity of sediment movement throughout the ricer course. Czarna river is a left tributary of the Vistula river, at a considerable length, is transformed as a result of technical river channel regultion. At 36+000 km of the river course, Chańcza dam was set. The mouth of Czarna river is located close to the Town of Połaniec. The river channel aspire to shape a new longitudinal profile of hydrodynamic balance in new conditions of fluvial system, by changing its shape in the vertical and horizontal direction. As indicated by river channel observations, changes are very fast after a disturbance, after which they are weakening, and the riverbed reaches again hydrodynamic equilibrium (eg. ...

Analysis of long-term riverbeds transformation: case study of the tributaries of the Upper Vistula river

The analysis of variability of riverbed elevation recorded at three selected gauging cross-sections: Stróża on Raba River and Żywiec and Oświęcin on Soła River is presented in the current paper. The studies concern the period of more than one hundred year. Focus was on the analysis of the river course maintenance in selected gauging stations. Research shows that the river course may change spacially and temporally with varying inensity. In the period of 50 - 100 years, these changes can be slight, but it can be also observed permanent change in the direction of the river channel development. The paper presents the trends of riverbed changes during the long period of time in selected mountain tributaries of the upper Vistula River, which were studied on the basis on the variability of observed mean annual water stages. In the paper there are given the reasons for the observed changes in the river course and channel geometry, which were caused by river regulation relayed on the shortening and narrowing of the river channel or the sediment exploitation. Presented in the article method of assessment of the variability of the river channels level in the long period of time may be the ...

Methods of analysis the riverbed evolution. a case study of two tributaries of the upper Vistula river

The analysis of variability of riverbed elevation recorded at five selected gauging cross-sections of Nida River, and at three gauging stations of Czarna Nida is presented in the paper. The studies concern the period of 60 - 80 years of observation. The trends of riverbed changes during the study period at the selected gauging stations were calculated based on the variability of observed minimal annual water stages. The reasons for the observed changes in the river course and channel geometry are given. These changes were caused by river regulation consisted of the shortening and narrowing of the river channel. Moreover, grain size distribution analysis in the selected gauging stations of Nida River and characteristic diameter variability of sediments along the river course examination are presented. These analyses were to evaluate the variability of characteristic diameters along the river course in connection with observed changes in cross-sections' geometry. Additionally, to confirm the process of erosion or deposition recognized in the examined river channels, hydrodynamic equilibrium was determined. Three methods were proposed and used: the mean velocity and critical velocity in the main river channel comparison, the stream power value calculation which defines the character of the river channel, and the WWK ...
