Our transcription: Using data from the moveable bed model and from the field, WES engineers have created a computer model which calculates the movement of sediment through Red Eye Crossing. It mimics the sediment's behavior through time as water discharge and velocities change. The light blue area is deep water, the dark blue, shallow water, which corresponds to sediment buildup. As the model goes from low discharge levels to high discharge and back to low again, the dark blue area grows in size indicating that sediment is moving in, causing the deep water channel to narrow.
