Assessing flow and sediment dynamics of Lower Brazos and San Bernard Basins

Summary

The University of Texas at Arlington and TAMU-Galveston will undertake field campaigns and modeling experiments to help attain a clearer understanding of flow connectivity and sediment dynamics along the Brazos River, the San Bernard River, Caney Creek, and the surrounding area. The project will includ 1) collection of sediment core and bathymetric data from the Brazos River mouth to Cedar Cut; 2) configuration of coupled hydrologic-hydrodynamic and sediment transport models for the region; 3) assessment of freshwater inflows along San Bernard River during floods; and 4) scenario analyses for flooding, sediment, and San Bernard River mouth stability.
