Temporal variability in bedload transport rates and spatial variability in sediment storage have been reported with increasing frequency in recent years. A spatial and temporal classification for these features is suggested based on the gravel bedform classification of Church and Jones (1982). The identified scales, meso-, macro-, and mega- are each broad, and within each there is a wide range of processes acting to produce bedload fluctuations. Sampling the same data set with different sampling intervals yields a near linear relationship between sampling interval and pulse period. A range of modelling strategies has been applied to bed waves. The most successful have been those which allow for the three-dimensional nature of sediment storage processes, and which allow changes in the width and depth of stored sediment. The existence of bed waves makes equilibrium in gravel-bed rivers necessarily dynamic. Bedload pulses and bed waves can be regarded as equilibrium forms at sufficiently long timescales.


The development of dams and sediments ponds which is the hydrological planning to improve the aspect of irrigation, river engineering, foundations, soil mechanics, environmental engineering, hydrology and hydraulics. The management difficulty for a decision maker of environmental impacts which is the river's condition does not change for the better in direct response to reduction in nutrient concentration. The aims of this study to evaluate the design of reservoirs building and analysing the water flow and volume of sediment storage in the Binanga Aron River, Samosir, North Sumatera Indonesia. The hydraulic modelling on sediments ponds will ensuring the availability of sufficient volume of water, river flows and water quality status. The primary channel building is equipped with a door to prevent the rinsing water flow back to the primary channel and prevent the entry of rinsing water containing sediment into the canal. Then, the insufficient water availability from the river that is used as a water source in the irrigation area, then the irrigation area is still possible to supply water from nearby water sources. From the result, the volume of water recorded 1,977 ltr/s/ha with simultaneously delivery system. It is necessary to adjust the position of the dam, where the channel flow depth in the sedimentary bag building at least 0.236 m, the discharge ranges from 0.078 - 0.263 m3 /sec. The water availability planned of water sources into artificial reservoirs in the Binanga Aron River to maintain the water supply

Abstract Temporary storage of sediment between source and sink can hinder reconstruction of climate and/or tectonic signals from stratigraphy by mixing of sediment tracers with diagnostic geochemical or geochronological signatures. Constraining the occurrence and timing of intrabasinal sediment recycling has been challenging because widely used detrital geo-thermochronology applications do not record shallow burial and subsequent reworking. Here, we apply strontium isotope stratigraphy techniques to recycled marine shell material in slope deposits of the Upper Cretaceous Tres Pasos Formation, Magallanes Basin, Chile. Detrital 87Sr/86Sr ages from 94 samples show that the majority (>85%) of the shells are >1–12 m.y. older than independently constrained depositional ages. We interpret the gap between mineralization age (87Sr/86Sr age) and depositional age of host strata to represent the intrabasinal residence time of sediment storage at the million-year time scale. We also use specimen type to infer relative position of intrabasinal source material along the depositional profile, where oysters represent shallow-water (i.e., proximal) sources and inoceramids represent deeper-water (i.e., distal) sources. The combined use of detrital strontium isotope ages and specimen types from linked depositional segments provides an opportunity to identify and quantify sediment storage and recycling in ancient source-to-sink systems.
