Summary

Bathymetric and topographic surveys were collected along an approximately 23-kilometer reach of the Colorado River between the Pumphouse Recreation Site and CO-131 (State Bridge) from August 1-3, 2022. The surveys were collected using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers by USGS personnel using a combination of sonar and wading techniques. The wading survey includes point data that are provided as a comma-delimited text file of northing, easting, elevation, and code. The sonar surveys include point data that are provided as comma-delimited text files of northing, easting, bed elevation, water-surface elevation, and depth. All spatial data are referenced horizontally to the North American Datum of [...]

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.
