Findings and Recommendations

Future Sand Modeling Activities

Develop sand routing model and couple with a long-term eddy sand loss model to track sand mass balance.

  • Can sand conservation flows and BHBFs maintain or increase the amount of sand stored in the system?
  • Is sand augmentation necessary to increase the amount of stored sand and, if so, in what quantities?

This will require a focused research effort that includes

  • monitoring of sand loss over long periods with no high flows and different initial conditions of sand storage and
  • a model framework combining the relevant mechanisms with long-term constraints based on observations of eddy sand loss.
