Abstract
Evaluation of mining methods and the volume of the bed and flood plain sand and gravel mining show that many problems will be created due to geometry and naturally changing of rivers, increasing of the flood power and environmental and ecological dangers. Hence, applying correct management on river sand and gravel mining can create many positive effects. In this research, the effect of locating of the consequent river bed material mining pits on their sedimentation is investigated in order mining management via an experimental study. Results indicated that, there is no perceptible effect on the infilling and migration velocity of the upstream pit by increasing the distance between the pits up to 16 times the flow depth. Also, mining near the wall of the channel (20% width of the channel) leads to decrease infilling volume up to 25% and decreases migration velocity of the upper edge of the upstream pit up to 37%. By increasing of the distance between the pits, infilling of downstream pit is decreased, but it depends on the distance between the downstream pit and the wall. When the distance between the pits doubles, migration velocity of the downstream pit decreases up to 70%. If the mining is located at the center of the channel and the pits are in close proximity, it creates more suitable condition due to the infilling and migration for upstream and downstream pits.
