Summary

Bathymetric and topographic surveys were collected along an approximately 47-kilometer reach of the Colorado River beginning at the Pumphouse Recreation site and extending downstream to the USGS streamgage located near the Colorado River Road (Catamount) bridge. The surveys were collected using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers by USGS personnel during several time periods between May 13, 2021, through July 26, 2023, using a combination of sonar and wading techniques. The wading surveys include point data that are provided as comma-delimited text files of northing, easting, elevation, and point code. The sonar surveys include point data that are provided as comma-delimited text files of northing, [...]

Purpose

These survey data were collected to support a USGS Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) research project in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The project aims to evaluate the potential to map river channel bathymetry (i.e., spatial patterns of water depth) from satellite images.
