| Abstract: | Water in the Snake and Clearwater Rivers was impounded beginning June 1975 when Lower Granite Dam became operational. Construction and operation of this facility necessitated collection of hydraulic- and channel-geometry data and description of sediment-transport characteristics in these rivers. This report summarizes information collected during August 1976 through July 1978 and is the fifth in a series of similar reports that began in 1972. Relatively minor amounts of sediment were transported during the 1977 drought period. Therefore, regular scheduled sampling of the bedload was impractical. Data for the 1978 runoff period indicate lower-than-average sediment transport in both rivers. Combined 1978 totals show that about 1,200,000 tons of sediment passed the Lewiston area. Hydrologic data collected from March 1972 through July 1978 are shown by various graphical presentations. (Woodard-USGS) |
