Fluvial Sediment Study of Fishtrap and Dewey Lakes Drainage Basins, Kentucky - Virginia
Fourteen drainage basins above Fishtrap and Dewey Lakes, and ranging in size from 1.68 to 297 sq mi in eastern Kentucky and southeastern Virginia were studied to determine origin and magnitudes of sediment. Sediment yields from surface-mined area ranged from 2,890 to 21,000 tons/sq mi/yr, and from 7...
