Video: Why Rivers Move & Erode
Windsor
A demonstration of how and why river channels change and erode.
In this 8-minute video, you will see how channels adjust to the water, sediment and debris that flow along them. These adjustments can sometimes surprise us and damage nearby buildings, roads and crossing structures. This video shows some of the changes along Mill Brook in Windsor and uses a stream table "flume" to demonstrate how channels and banks change over time. This video was produced by the Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC). www.ctriver.org
Ann Lawless, the Executive Director of the American Precision Museum (APM), www.americanprecision.org in Windsor, Vermont and Larry Kasden of the Ottauquechee Natural Resources Conservation District (ONRCD) www.onrcd.org, collaborate to illustrate how rivers move and erode and how we can avoid damage.
