Ishikari River at Asahikawa City

We visited a site of Ishikari River where the bed degradation is very serious.





Sandy rock is abraded by bed load sediment transport.


This place is covered with gravel sediments with 5-10cm diameter. 


Sandy rock is exposed at one side of the gravel bar.




It looks like the gravel sediment concentrate on the trench and the abrasion is accelerated.
