Backwater sedimentation rates
Rates and Patterns of Net Sedimentation in Backwaters| Figure 1. Location of study Pools 4, 8, and 13 in the Upper Mississippi River, USA. |
| Figure 2. Mean poolwide sedimentation rates for selected elevation classes for the period 1997 to 2001 in Pools 4, 8, and 13. |
| Figure 3. Mean poolwide sedimentation rates during 2000 (low discharge year) and 2001 (high discharge year) for Pools 4, 8, and 13. |
| Figure 4. Correlation between poolwide annual sedimentation rates for terrestrial and aquatic portions of transects and annual discharge (as measured by the discharge condition exceeded 5% of the time within each year). Data derived from Pools 4, 8, and 13. |
| Figure 5. Annual discharge (as measured by the discharge condition exceeded 5% of the time within each year) for Pool 8 from 1959 to 2001. |
