Catalog Record
Salton Sea (California) Sedimentation Survey Data
Salton Sea Sedimentation Survey Data. The primary purpose of this type of survey is to determine the present storage-elevation relationship of the reservoir and possible change in storage due to sedimentation. Salton Sea is not associated with a dam. Reservoir sedimentation surveys typically contain a survey report, area-capacity (ACAP) table, and geospatial data.
