    Model investigations into the influence of constructional elements on sediment transport
    (1994) Bechteler, Wilhelm; Vollmers, Hans-Joachim; Wieprecht, Silke
    Recently the attempt has been made to renaturalize the last section of the Weissach River before it flows into Lake Tegernsee. This part had been previously regulated in a schematic monotonous way. During the last flood period, an agglomeration of sediment has occurred, which may provoke an overtopping of the dams. In a hydraulic model with movable bed (scale 1:20) the existing conditions and possible improvements were studied in order to prevent agglomerations. Furthermore fundamental investigations were made about the influence of obstructions on sediment transport and water levels.

    Model investigations into the influence of renaturalization on sediment transport
    (1994) Bechteler, Wilhelm; Vollmers, Hans-Joachim; Wieprecht, Silke
    Efforts have recently been made to renaturalize the Weißach River which had previously been regulated in a schematic, monotonous manner. During the last flood period an agglomeration of sediment occurred, which may provoke an overtopping of the dams. In a hydraulic model with movable bed (scale 1:20) the existing conditions and possible improvements were studied in order to prevent agglomerations. Furthermore, fundamental investigations were made with regard to the influence of constructional steps on sediment transport and water levels.
