Popis: A mathematical-graphical procedure for predicting the longitudinal extent of degradation with time downstream from large capacity reservoirs is presented. For such a prediction it is necessary to have an indication of the outflow release rates of the structure, original distribution curves of the bed materials, and channel cross sections. The evaluation of bed slope and the energy slope appears to be a critical factor in the computations. Miscalculation of these two variables could seriously affect the solution; therefore extreme care is urged in their determinations.
