12	Derive the unit conversion factor C in the following formula: Qs = C Cs Q in which Qs is given in kilonewtons per day, Cs in milligrams per liter, and Q in cubic meters per second.	221129	221206
01	Define in a clear sentence, each of the following: (1) river mechanics; (2) sedimentation engineering; (3) fluvial geomorphology; (4) potamology.	220823	220830
02	Derive Eq. 13-2 in A02 of the syllabus.	220830	220906
03	Would Kennedy's principle (in A21) apply to all rivers, or would there be some exceptions? Explain in a short statement.	220906	220913
04	Why is sediment yield always less than sediment production? Explain the physical and geomorphological process in a 100-word statement.	220913	220920
05	How does baseflow loss increase sediment transport? Explain in a less-than-200-word statement.	220920	220927
06	Do the levees on the Lower Mississippi river decrease or increase flood hazards in the long-term? Explain in a less-than-200-word statement, using concepts of hydraulics, hydrology, geomorphology, and sediment transport.	220929	221006

08	What is the d84? Why 84? Why is it used in sedimentation engineering, in addition to the mean particle size d50, to characterize roughness in sand-and-gravel-streams? (See Ponce: Open-channel Hydraulics, Chapter 5, Manning formula).	221025	221101
09	How is the presence of bedforms reflected in the shape of a sediment rating curve? Explain in a less-than-200-word statement.	221101	221108
10	Why is a sediment retention basin likely to be a counterproductive measure to control sediments in alluvial streams?	221108	221115
11	Define the following forms of scour used in engineering practice: (1) general scour; (2) contraction scour; (3) clear-water scour; (4) live-bed scour; (5) local scour; and (6) lateral migration. Explain in detail.	221122	221129
