Summary

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 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 [...]

Purpose

Cross-section bathymetry data were obtained along cross-sections by navigating the survey vessel across the channel to monitor aggradation and degradation of the channel bed to support on-going river restoration efforts in the braided reach. The data describe pre- and post-freshet bathymetric conditions when funding and flow conditions allowed. The cross-section surveys include the full width of the water surface except for extreme shallow areas along banks. For the bridge surveys, the channel bed in the vicinity of the two Straight Reach bridges (US Hwy 95 and Union Pacific RR) were surveyed and include the area beneath the bridge deck as well as a buffer zone greater than or equal to 100 ft upstream and downstream of each structure.
