Bathymetry and Sediment-Storage Capacity Change in Three Reservoirs on the Lower Susquehanna River, 1996-2008

摘要

For each of the three reservoirs in the lower Susquehanna River, this report (1) presents results of the bathymetric surveys (depth to bottom) during the fall of 2008, (2) documents the change in water and sediment-storage capacity, (3) provides estimates of the remaining sediment-storage capacity, and (4) examines long-term capacity changes since 1929. In addition, the methods and equipment used to collect, estimate, and quality assure these data are summarized.
