The USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, surveyed the bathymetry within an area of about 500 acres of American Falls Reservoir between River Miles 713 and 714 during the week of August 6-8, 2019. The bathymetric survey provided high resolution detail of a proposed treatment area for an aeration system that is being developed to support water quality during the American Falls spillway concrete repair project and possibly thereafter. The Water Quality Restoration Plan detailing this effort is an appendix of the of the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) in conjunction with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance process.

The USGS, in cooperation with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, surveyed the bathymetry of Blackfoot Reservoir in 2011 to determine temporal changes due to sedimentation and other factors, and to improve the overall accuracy of the stage-capacity table. Bathymetric surveys of high accuracy and resolution are possible through advances in instrumentation, notably a multibeam echosounder (MBES). An MBES coupled with real-time kinematic global positioning systems (RTK-GPS) has advantages over traditional techniques for surveying reservoir bathymetry, such as single-beam echosounders, acoustic Doppler profilers, or soundings, because they can provide more coverage of the reservoir bed and real-time data corrections. The topography...
