Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE)

The purpose of the acoustic Doppler profiling in Clark Canyon Reservoir was to support a reservoir water quality study to determine the source and fate of turbidity plumes in the reservoir. An acoustic Doppler profiler (ADP) was deployed near the outlet works intake structure to gain an understanding of surface currents and outlet works withdrawal zone hydraulics during periods of thermal stratification for 2017 and 2018. The ADP data sets will provide information to develop an understanding of the transport of turbidity plumes to the reservoir outlet along with evaluating strong wind events on measured reservoir current profiles. This report is a supplement to the final report for S&T Project 19080.
