Multibeam Echosounding Survey in Meander Reach, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho - Water Year 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.
