	What Can Thalweg Profiles Tell Us? - Summer 1999
		A thalweg profile is constructed by surveying the elevation of the channel bed in a downstream direction along the deepest part of the channel.
		Thalweg profiles are also useful in combination with cross-sectional profiles or channel planform analysis to determine the vertical dimension of channel morphologic features.
		An analysis of thalweg profiles in the Redwood Creek basin surveyed between 1977 and 1997 showed there were statistically significant differences in the distributions of residual water depths and the variation of channel bed elevations in streams impacted by high sediment loads.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Thalweg
		Thalweg (a German word compounded from Thal (nowadays spelled Tal), valley, and Weg, way) is a term adopted into English usage for geography and geomorphology.
		The thalweg principle is the principle of determining national boundaries at the thalweg of a river separating two states.
		A thalweg in geology is a line representing the profile of a land surface, drawn as a series of cross-sections that crosses all contour lines at right angles.

		In June 1968, a thalweg survey was conducted to record effects from a storm on April 12, 1967 whose mean daily flow upstream at the Gracemont Gage was 1200 cubic feet per second (cfs).
		In June 1968, a thalweg survey was conducted to record effects from the April 12, 1967 storm, that had a mean daily flow recorded at the Gracemont Gage of 1,200 cfs.
		Thalweg measurements were not conducted specifically at cross section #2, downstream and upstream measurements indicate no aggradation or degradation in the reach, therefore, it is assumed that thalweg elevation remained at ~1155.7 feet amsl.

		The Danube frontier between the territories ceded to Bulgaria and Roumania follows the thalweg of the river.
		Roumania cedes to the Allied Powers the part of the Dobrudja situated to the north of the new frontier line described in paragraph a, down to the Danube and exactly between the forking of the river and the Black Sea even to St. George's Arm.
		The details regarding the determination of the thalweg must be agreed upon between the interested Powers immediately after the signing of the peace treaty; the delimitation will take place in the autumn of 1918 at low-water mark.

	KGS--Kansas River Corridor--Fluvial Hydraulics
		The thalweg is a line connecting the deepest parts of the channel.
		Channel cross sections are used to monitor changes in the channel morphology (thalweg and topwidth) and to calculate relationships between discharge and water depth.
		The thalweg profile was lowered almost everywhere (5 feet [1.5 m] is a typical value), with the exception of some cross sections between river miles 12 and 20, which registered some aggradation.

	Publikationen Jussi Baade (1990-1994)(Abstracts)
		Most of the sediment mobilized by soil erosion is derived from small drainageways on the fields where overland flow and interflow or returnflow concentrates and triggers ephemeral gully erosion or thalweg erosion, respectively.
		It was calculated that inside of the catchment of gauge station 18 (705 ha) thalweg erosion accounts for 20% of the soil eroded.
		But these on-field damages are concentrated at the bottom of the thalweg, which normally means that the farmer is not that much concerned about them.

	The situation
		Erosion phenomena are linear and generally confined to the thalweg axis, although they can also appear on the headlands (ends of fields) or on any lines of concentration between plots.
		Soil losses are always confined to the thalweg, but vary greatly, ranging between 0 and 500 m³/km² per year (Ouvry 1992).
		Ludwig, Boiffin and Masclet (1992) estimated the volume of the rills to be 100.8 m³ during the winter of 1988-89.

	JUDGMENT: CASE CONCERNING KASIKILI/SEDUDU ISLAND (BOTSWANA/NAMIBIA) - 13 DECEMBER 1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Court notes that various definitions of the term "thalweg" are found in treaties delimiting boundaries and that the concepts of the thalweg of a watercourse and the centre of a watercourse are not equivalent.
		The word "thalweg" has variously been taken to mean "the most suitable channel for navigation" on the river, the line "determined by the line of deepest soundings", or "the median line of the main channel followed by boatmen travelling downstream".
		In Botswana's view, it is to be found "on the basis of the thalwegs in the northern and western channel of the Chobe", whereas in Namibia's view, it "lies in the centre (that is to say thalweg) of the southern channel of the Chobe River".

		The case is controlled by the island exception to the rule of the thalweg.
		The latter rule specifies that the river boundary between States lies along the main downstream navigational channel, or thalweg, and moves as the channel changes with the gradual processes of erosion and accretion.

	Conjunctive Use Without Management:Overdraft and Overdraft-Related Problems
		During the period 1950 through 1975, the water table steadily declined in much of the Cache Creek sub-basin, in the Lower Cache-Putah sub-basin and on the western side of the Colusa sub-basin (Scott, et al., 1975; DWR, 1961).
		Heavy pumping, coincident with the lowering of the Cache Creek thalweg from aggregate mining, was responsible for declines in the Hungry Hollow area, in the Yolo/Woodland area and in the areas on both sides of the Creek from Esparto Bridge to Yolo (Wahler Associates, 1981).
		Since 1975, with the ordinance on in-stream mining to protect the thalweg, and introduction of supplemental Indian Valley surface supplies in the Hungry Hollow area, declining water levels have been reversed, or stabilized in the part of the Cache Creek sub-basin west of the Plainfield Ridge.

		Selecting the new initial centerline is necessary because the Thalweg layer already has one feature in it and if there are more than one features in the thalweg layer, the program works with the selected feature, if selected.
		Since the first feature in the thalweg feature class is the thalweg located by the first approach, it is necessary to select the initial centerline digitized in the second approach.
		After the thalweg is located, the program will display the same message box that was displayed with the first approach.

	2000, Pirmez et al.
		Where the rates of tectonic deformation are comparable to the sediment flux, the thalweg profile smoothes irregularities but reflects, in part, the motion of active structures, as illustrated by intra-slope channels in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Nigeria.
		Disruption of the equilibrium profile occurs when the rate of tectonic deformation exceeds the sediment flux or when there is a rapid change in the sediment flux compared with the prevailing flow conditions.
		These include thalweg downcutting and meander cut-offs updip of knickpoints, development of distributary channels and sheets as aggradation progresses downdip, and channel damming and redirection associated with down-to-the-shelf normal faults and folds.

		Students will produce a vertical profile of a stream and be able to map as well as define thalweg, point bar, and cut bank.
		At the cut bank the stream is eroding, at its deepest part (the thalweg) the stream is transporting sediment and it is depositing sediment on the point bar.
		We are going to measure the profile of a stream, determine its current velocity at various points and depths and examine the sediment on the stream bottom.
