Suspended sediment plays a critical role in riverine ecosystem health and river processes and is respondent to human alterations such as dams and increased land use. Gavins Point Dam, located on the Missouri River near Yankton, South Dakota, restricts upstream suspended load; yet, suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) increase when the river reaches Sioux City, Iowa. We determined the suspended load concentrations of seven tributaries of the Missouri River entering downstream of the dam. These data were collected from 2012 to 2019 during the summer months of May–July using a depth‐integrated sampler. Sediment rating curves were created based on discharge and SSC. We constructed a simple sediment budget, which indicated that the tributaries located in South Dakota contribute the bulk of the Missouri River's suspended load at ~80%, while the Nebraska tributaries contribute <5%. The remaining sediment is likely supplied by bank and bed erosion. Temporal changes were examined by comparing our recent measurements with historical data from USGS gaging stations on the James River and the Big Sioux River. Suspended sediment and discharge have increased by nearly an order of magnitude, potentially due to increases in precipitation and land use. Sediment budgets are useful resources for informing river management plans on a basin‐wide scale. Given the drastic, long‐term impacts of disruptions to sediment and flow regimes from dams and climate change, this research provides necessary groundwork for remediation efforts and river management.

来自密苏里河支流,南达科他州东南部和内布拉斯加州东北部的悬浮负荷的贡献:建立泥沙预算

悬浮的沉积物在河流生态系统健康和河流过程中起着关键作用,并且对诸如水坝和土地利用增加等人类变化做出了响应。位于南达科他州扬克顿附近的密苏里河上的加文斯角大坝限制了上游的悬空负荷;但是,当河流到达爱荷华州苏城时,悬浮泥沙浓度(SSC)会增加。我们确定了进入大坝下游的密苏里河的七个支流的悬浮负荷浓度。这些数据是在5月至7月的夏季月份从2012年至2019年使用深度集成采样器收集的。泥沙等级曲线是基于流量和SSC创建的。我们建立了一个简单的沉积物预算,表明位于南达科他州的支流贡献了密苏里河大部分的悬浮负荷,约为80%,内布拉斯加州支流的贡献少于5%。剩余的沉积物很可能是由河床和河床侵蚀提供的。通过将我们最近的测量结果与詹姆斯河和大苏河上的USGS测压站的历史数据进行比较,研究了时间变化。悬浮的沉积物和排放物增加了近一个数量级,这可能是由于降水和土地利用的增加。沉积物预算是有用的资源,可用于在整个流域范围内告知河流管理计划。考虑到大坝和气候变化对沉积物和水流状况造成的长期,长期的影响,这项研究为整治工作和河流管理提供了必要的基础。通过将我们最近的测量结果与詹姆斯河和大苏河上的USGS测压站的历史数据进行比较,研究了时间变化。悬浮的沉积物和排放物增加了近一个数量级,这可能是由于降水和土地利用的增加。沉积物预算是有用的资源,可用于在整个流域范围内告知河流管理计划。考虑到大坝和气候变化对沉积物和水流状况造成的长期,长期的影响,这项研究为整治工作和河流管理提供了必要的基础。通过将我们最近的测量结果与詹姆斯河和大苏河上的USGS测压站的历史数据进行比较,研究了时间变化。悬浮的沉积物和排放物增加了近一个数量级,这可能是由于降水和土地利用的增加。沉积物预算是有用的资源,可用于在整个流域范围内告知河流管理计划。考虑到大坝和气候变化对沉积物和水流状况造成的长期,长期的影响,这项研究为整治工作和河流管理提供了必要的基础。沉积物预算是有用的资源,可用于在整个流域范围内告知河流管理计划。考虑到大坝和气候变化对沉积物和水流状况造成的长期,长期的影响,这项研究为整治工作和河流管理提供了必要的基础。沉积物预算是有用的资源,可用于在整个流域范围内告知河流管理计划。考虑到大坝和气候变化对沉积物和水流状况造成的长期,长期的影响,这项研究为整治工作和河流管理提供了必要的基础。
