SEDIMENT CONTROL AT ARMY TRAINING AREAS CASE STUDY: HOHENFELS, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY

Sediment control networks are important to Army training lands because they reduce the amount of sediment transported downstream. To evaluate the effectiveness of sediment control networks in training areas, the Army needs to know the water and sediment yield under natural conditions and under conditions produced by training activity. A study was conducted at the Hohenfels Training Area, Federal Republic of Germany, to evaluate the existing sediment control network and to make recommendations for rehabilitation of damaged check dams. Data gathered during watershed and check dam surveys was used in the Army Multiple Watershed Storm Water and Sediment Runoff (ARMSED) model to simulate the results of various activities and improvements.
