Formation, Growth, and Failure of Debris Jams at Bridge Piers
Research Article Diego Panici Gustavo A. M. de Almeida First published in Water Resources Research for American Geophysical Union AGU: 24 August 2018 https://doi.org/10.1029/2017WR022177 Abstract The accumulation of large wood debris around bridge piers obstructs the flow, producing increased upstream water levels, large horizontal structural loadings, and flow field modifications that can considerably exacerbate scour.

Improving Fish passage on the Adur
Improving fish passage on the Adur by Rachel Paget Ouse and Adur River Trust Newsletter. Summer 2018. https://oart.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/OART-11-Summer-2018-E-Newsletter-1.pdf OART have installed a new fish pass at Haterell’s Bridge, removing a significant barrier to fish passage on the Western arm of the River Adur and facilitating increased, multi-species, fish movement through an additional 2.2km of river.
