Abstract
The outlet of the Yahara River to Lake
Mendota has caught many scientists and engineers'
attention.Related issues such as sediment loading are serious .
We intended to study the wave behavior at this region as to provide
valuable information for possible solutions of the related problems .
SBP and poking methods are adopted to measure the water depth at
several locations within the region. Computer soft wares are used to
model the bathymetry and stimulate the flow . Internet is
used to research related information. With the data obtained by
computer models and internet , the wave behavior can be defined.
Finally , methods to innovated the study are also suggested.
