Abstract

The Houston Ship Channe study determined factors which correlated strongly with the rate of shoaling end which could ve used in an equation for a predictive model. Shoaling data and rainfall data from 1961 to 1984 and dredging dates and amounts for the ship channel were used as a substitute for actual flow rates of a tributary when the flow rate was not available.
