Dam-Break Floods in Low Order Mountain Channels of the Pacific Northwest
Flood waves produced from dam breaks attenuate with distance traveled downstream (Costa 1985). Flood waves produced from dam breaks in low-order mountain channels, however, mobilize significant amounts of organic debris within the stream valley and may cause the formation of a moving dam composed almost exclusively of organic material. This dam is propelled downstream in a manner often destructive to riparian vegetation, fish habitat, and downstream dwellings, until riparian conditions, channel geometry, or supply of organic debris are altered causing the movement to cease. Initiation mechanisms, movement, and ultimate deposition locations of debris from dam-break floods are described for twenty locations in the Pacific Northwest.
