Water Velocity in the Downstream Approach to Peoria Lock, Near Peoria, Illinois, During Testing of an Automated Barge Clearing Deterrent, September 12, 2022
A variety of new technologies are being evaluated to mitigate the spread of invasive carps from the Illinois River to the Great Lakes. In 2022, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Geological Survey undertook a field-scale interagency study to determine the efficacy of an Automated Barge Clearing Deterrent (ABCD) in flushing live fish away from commercial barge vessels entering Peoria Lock on the Illinois River. The ABCD is a forced air manifold system that is placed at the channel bed to create a longitudinal array of bubble plumes.
In support of this study, water velocity data were collected around the ABCD using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) operated with a differential Global Positioning System (dGPS) antenna from a manned survey vessel on September 12, 2022. ADCP data were collected in the area surrounding the ABCD along four longitudinal transects (parallel to the lock approach guidewall) and five cross-stream transects (perpendicular to the lock approach guidewall). Each transect was measured four times with the ABCD off and four times with the ABCD on. This page contains ADCP data exported from WinRiverII Version 2.24 in the classic ASCII output format and KML files showing the ship track of each surveyed line.
