Description :
Seepage flow and sediment concentrations were measured in situ at eight locations along the banks of a deeply incised stream in northern Mississippi. Using field observations as a guide, lysimeter experiments were conducted to experimentally simulate the soil and hydrologic conditions in which seepage erosion results in streambank failure of deeply incised streams in which stream stage does not contribute to bank storage or failure.
