  Description:
    Abstract:
      An analysis of the morphological changes of Pool 19 on the
      Mississippi River has been made. The pool lost about 550f its
      original capacity by 1980, and it is estimated that by the 2050s it
      will have lost about 800f its capacity, when it may attain a
      dynamic volumetric equilibrium. At that time, the pool will behave
      more like a deeply incised river than like a lake. The pooling
      action of the river has also accelerated the formation of islands
      and deltas, especially at the mouths of tributaries. These tributary
      mouths are now behaving similarly to tributaries in a coastal
      environment. The morphological change on this pool is progressing
      through a predictable pattern, and it is believed that similar pools
      on other navigable waterways may follow a similar pattern.
    Purpose: Reporting results of research.
