Braided Reach Cross-Section Monitoring Surveys, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, 2011
In 2009, the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho released and implemented the Kootenai River
Habitat Restoration Master Plan. This plan aimed to restore, enhance, and maintain
the Kootenai River habitat and landscape to support and sustain habitat conditions
for aquatic species and animal populations. In support of these restoration efforts,
the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho,
conducted high-resolution multibeam echosounder bathymetric surveys in May,
June, and July 2011, as a baseline bathymetric monitoring survey on the Kootenai
River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Three channel patterns or reaches exist in the
study area—braided, meander, and a transitional zone connecting the braided
and meander reaches. Bathymetric data were collected at three study areas in
2011 to provide: (1) surveys in unmapped portions of the meander reach;
(2) monitoring of the presence and extent of sand along planned lines within
a section of the meander reach; and (3) monitoring aggradation and degradation
of the channel bed at specific cross sections within the braided reach and
transitional zone. The bathymetric data will be used to update and verify flow
models, calibrate and verify sediment transport modeling efforts, and aid in the
biological assessment in support of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Master
Plan. The data and planned lines for each study reach were produced in ASCII XYZ
format supported by most geospatial software.
