Advances in River Bedload Tracking Technology: Self-righting Radio Frequency Identification Tracers and an In-stream Automated Station
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)Understanding of bedload transport rates in natural streams has been an area of focus for researchers for decades. Recently, researchers have begun to use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track individual ... -
Flow and Sediment Routing in Urban Channels with Flashy Hydrographs
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-20)Urbanization has a major impact on flow and erosion in open channels. By replacing rural land surfaces with impervious surfaces, urbanization causes a decrease in infiltration and an increase in surface runoff and faster ... -
Flume Construction and RFID Tracking Techniques for Fluvial Sediment Transport Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Sediment transport studies incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) tracers are becoming a key component in understanding sediment transport dynamics due to the data they provide on spatial and temporal variability. ... -
Sediment Transport and Metals Modeling in an Urban Stream - The Don River, Toronto
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-28)The Don River watershed has been subjected to rapid urbanization over the last few decades. As a result, vast area of built-up land has shifted the watershed’s hydrologic cycle towards lower infiltration and higher runoff ... -
Spatial Decision Support System for Urban Streams
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)The change of land use from rural to urban tends to radically alter the implicated streams with many symptoms of the “urban stream syndrome”. The key driver of the syndrome is hydrologic change; the product of increased ...
