DOI: 10.1007/s10346-020-01409-3
Abstract: Large wood (LW) in debris flows during flooding can cause significant damage to check dams, bridges, and other major infrastructure in its flow path. When LW accumulates and forms logjams, large volumes of sediment can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11368-018-2042-z
Abstract: PurposeThe sediment yield and erosion rate in an area can be estimated by calculating the volume of sediment retained by check dams. However, results can show unrealistic and imprecise conclusions if the sediment volume is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.122051
Abstract: Abstract Sediment control is important for supplying clean water. Although check dams control sediment yield, site selection for check dams based on the sediment trapping efficiency (TE) is often complex and time-consuming. Currently, a multi-step… read more here.
