Title: Model investigations on the sediment transport of a lower alpine river
Abstract: In this paper the difficulties will be demonstrated in estimating the sediment transport in mountain rivers which marked hydrological events. In such cases model investigations with movable bed are often the only way to find physical explanations. Firstly the situation of the Weissach river is described and than after a short similarity consideration the most important model devices are presented. The model could not be calibrated because there were no field measurements available. Therefore a discharge/transport relation was developed. The main result of the investigations was the very stable behaviour of the model against changing of the slope and the constructional measures realized in the course of the renaturalization of the Weissach river.
