BW - CHAPTER 14: CASE STUDY- NEOSHO RIVER,
ALLEN COUNTY, (MIKE GEFFERT’S PROPERTY)
SOUTHEAST KANSASConstructed May-July 2000 Using Bendway Weirs for thalweg
realignment & bank erosion reduction
Neosho River Project Specifications• River is 260 ft wide
• Gravel-sand bed
• Project is 2,200 ft long, Outer bank is 25 ft tall, it eroded 178 ft laterally in 6 years time
• 11 Bendway Weirs, are all 70 ft long, spaced 210 ft apart & constructed of “shot rock”, 400 lb max.
• First set of velocities (March 15, 2001) water was 6 ft over the weirs, second set of velocities (Mar 16, 2001) water was a measured 12 ft over the top of the weirs!!
• Velocities were measured with floating oranges
Pre-Project. Looking upstream at the near vertical eroded bank

Dozier pushing stone to form Bendway Weir #3. Note the thalweg is already being moved toward the center of the channel by the upstream weirs.

HIGH WATER – LET’S GET SOME
VELOCITIES(We have a sack of oranges
& time on our hands)
Mini case study: 1 of 3
Neosho River, Allen County, Kansas 6 ft of
water over weirs (estimated) Top water velocities within the weir field never exceeded
1.00 ft/second
BW #7
BW #3
BW #11
1.61
0.602.041.03
0.332.792.72
Data collected March 15, 2001
The Thalweg left the bank a measured 200
ft US of BW#1
The Thalweg hit the bank a measured
150 ft DS of BW#11
Looking US at weirs at low water on the Neosho River, KS. This is not when the velocity data was taken.
Mini case study: 2 of 3
Mini case study: 3 of 3
Neosho River, Allen County, Kansas 12 ft of
water over weirs (measured) Top water
velocities within the weir field never exceeded 3.00

SINCE PROJECT CONSTRUCTION THE
RIVER HAS BEEN OUT OF BANK SEVERAL TIMES - IN JULY 2007 THE RIVER
EXPERIENCED THE 100 YEAR FLOOD

AFTER A 100 YEAR FLOOD-NEOSHO RIVER - PIX BY DERRICK 12/11/2008
8 years later. After THE 100 YEAR FLOOD. Looking DS. Erosion has laid the bank back to a stable angle. Note how flat the bank is at the toe
AFTER A 100 YEAR FLOOD-NEOSHO RIVER - PIX BY DERRICK 12/11/2008
After a 100 year flood. Looking DS. Large Woody Debris is indicative of slower velocities & good for aquatic habitat.
