    User's manual for program CHANSEC
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1978-04) Simons, D. B., author; Li, R. M., author; Brown, G. O., author; Barkau, L. A., author; Civil Engineering Department, Engineering Research Center, Colorado State University, publisher
    In computer simulation of large river systems, hand modification of cross-sectional data is so time consuming that evaluation of more than a few alternative channel designs is impractical. Because of this, an interactive computer program (CHANSEC) was developed that modifies an existing set of digitized cross sections to reflect modifications such as channelization, levee placement or changes in channel roughness. The program also plots cross sections and the bed profile on a Tektronix screen or pen plotter. In only a few minutes, this program can modify the cross section file of hundreds of miles of river to reflect channelization. A manual was prepared to assist the computer user in utilizing Program CHANSEC.

    Yazoo River basin sedimentation study: cross sectional data
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1978-04) Simons, D. B., author; Li, R. M., author; Brown, G. O., author; Civil Engineering Department, Engineering Research Center, Colorado State University, publisher
    This manual contains the cross-sectional data used in the Yazoo River Basin Sedimentation Study. The report shows how the complex geometric system has been abstracted to allow simulations of water and sedimentation processes using a physical process mathematical model. This manual also serves as a reference for the existing cross-sectional conditions in the Yazoo River Basin, and to conditions if the proposed plan "E" modifications in addition, are implemented as designed. This manual contains longitudinal river profiles, schematics of cross-sectional locations, lists of cross sections used and plots of the cross sections.
