Salmon River Experimental Ice Boom: 1989-90 and 1990-91 Winter Seasons
The city of Salmon, Idaho, is affected by flooding resulting from a frazil ice jam, known as the Deadwater jam, which forms annually on the Salmon River. Because the river has considerable environmental, economic, aesthetic, and recreational value, an innovative approach to frazil ice control is nee...
