S&T Project Number 7839 Final Report: Field Deployment of a Continuous Suspended Sediment Load Surrogate

Rivers captured our imagination for centuries. The relationship between movement of water and sediment create complexities that
refresh our souls, pique our interest, and demand our attention. The study and understanding of complexities, such as sediment transport,
requires the collection of data. Over the decades, the techniques for collecting sediment data have been refined and more recently surrogate
techniques have expanded the temporal range of the collected data. One of the more promising surrogate technologies is active acoustics, which
have been successfully tested in a variety of fluvial environments, including gravel and sand bed rivers, where morphological changes are
minimal. Application of this technology to shallow sand bed rivers though has been limited to areas where the local geology provides a sufficient
flow depth at various discharge stages and the local morphology is stable. A site was identified on the Middle Rio Grande that provided the
opportunity to explore the robustness of the developed technology in recording continuous suspended sediment data in an environment where the
morphology is not stable. Challenges were present in implementation of the developed technology, but with some caveats the developed
technology can be utilized in shallow sand rivers with changing morphology.

S&T Project 1794 Final Report: Identifying Sources of Uncertainty in Flood Frequency Analyses Report

Reclamation partnered with scientists at NCAR to assess sensitivity and sources of uncertainty in rainfall runoff modeling to support flood frequency analyses.  Pieces of the modeling chain, including initial conditions, model parameters, precipitation inputs, and model structure were examined across a range of return intervals from 2-100,000 years.  Two example watersheds representing different hydrologies in the 17 western states were used for this study.  A stochastic hydrologic modeling workflow was developed using NCAR’s FUSE modeling framework.  Results indicated that modeling chain pieces have variable uncertainty contributions across return periods.  Results found that precipitation inputs are most important for rare events while initial conditions are important for frequent events; however, uncertainties from model structure and structure-parameter interactions still play a proportionally important role in results.  This highlights the importance of understanding flood generation processes and selecting appropriate models based on that understanding.  In addition to these findings, a review of calibration metrics indicated that the KGE is a more robust metric than NSE for calibration of models for extreme events.

CENCAL1853_1910 - Vectorized Shoreline of Central California Derived from 1853-1910 Source Data

There are critical needs for a nationwide compilation of reliable shoreline data.  To meet these needs, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has produced a comprehensive database of digital vector shorelines by compiling shoreline positions from pre-existing historical shoreline databases and by generating historical and modern shoreline data.  Shorelines are compiled by state and generally correspond to one of four time periods: 1800s, 1920s-1930s, 1970s, and 1998-2002.  Each shoreline may represent a compilation of data from one or more sources for one or more dates provided by one or more agencies.  Details regarding source are provided in the 'Data Quality Information' section of this metadata report.  Shoreline vectors derived from historic sources (first three time periods) represent the high water line at the time of the survey, whereas modern shorelines (final time period) represent the mean high water line.

Seabed still images in JPEG format collected on Stellwagen Bank on U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2015-062-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, Oct. 21 and 22 and Nov. 3 and 4 2015

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 75 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and temperature, conductivity, and depth measurements of the water column. Additional information regarding this field activity is available from https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2015-062-FA.

S&T Project 1707: Hydraulic Impacts to Canals Systems

Hydrokinetic (HK) power technologies have been applied to inland waterways in recent years such as rivers and canal systems. While they advantageously utilize the existing infrastructure and flow conditions of canal systems, impacts to daily operations and canal safety must be considered. A pilot study was done where 10 HK units were installed in Denver Water’s South Boulder Canal. Flow and water level measurements were made in the canal for several flow conditions and compared to baseline levels without HK operation. Test results and field experience suggest that safety planning and emergency procedures are imperative. Also, arrays of multiple HK units are not well suited for canals due to increased water levels that may encroach upon freeboard limitations. However, HK units may be advantageous if installed in strategic locations such as offshoot channels or flumes that offer operational flexibility and where altered hydraulic conditions do not compromise operations or safety. Critical design parameters are canal slope, velocity, freeboard, and design discharge when considering applying HK to existing systems.

S&T Project Number 1754 Final Report: Modeling of Cherry Creek Reservoir Pressure Flush

A numerical and empirical modeling study of pressure flushing through outlet works is reported at the Cherry Creek Dam and Reservoir, Denver, Colorado. Specifically, a 3D numerical model and empirical equations from laboratory experiments are developed and applied. The project is a joint collaborative effort among the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Geological Survey on the studyof reservoir outlet maintenance activities. The 3D model is based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations along with sediment transport and mobile-bed modules. The numerical model results are compared with the field measurement results. Repeat land and bathymetric surveys, sediment sampling, and suspended sediment concentration measurement were made at the study site. The comparison allows us to evaluate the suitability of the numerical models for pressure flushing modeling. Model results may be used to evaluate whether improvements to gate operations may be made to increase the efficiency of sediment removal from the reservoir.

Stream, Lagoon, or Other Wastewater (not including tailwater recovery) as an Irrigation Source on Agricultural Land in the Conterminous United States, 1992: National Resource Inventory Conservation Practice ISO04

This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to

Other Waste Waster (not including tailwater recovery) as an Irrigation Source is described as an 
"impoundment made by excavation or earthfill for biological treatment of animal or other agricultural 
waste." (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995)  This data set was created with geographic information 
systems (GIS) and database management tools. The acres on which LWWIS's are applied were totaled 
at the county level in the tabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural 
land within the county based on the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer 
resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). Federal land is not considered in this analysis because 
NRI does not record information on those lands.
