Abstract:

This report summarizes the field collection of topographic data for three high flow channels (HFC) adjacent to the Rio Grande in the Albuquerque Reach. The data were collected 7-8 March 2017. The USACE - Albuquerque District conducted the survey of each channel. Global Positioning System (GPS) Real Time Kinematic (RTK) survey equipment was used to conduct the work. The data will provide insight into general aggradation and degradation trends within the channels and determine connectivity and conveyance capacity to the Rio Grande. This is the fifth year in which these geomorphic aspects were measured for these particular channels. Depending on funding, this type of survey will be carried out on a regular basis. The Hydrology and Hydraulics (H&H) contacts in the Albuquerque office are Jonathan AuBuchon, PE and Kirsty Bramlett, PE.
