Multiprobe Water Quality Data from the Tracy Fish Collection Facility (TFCF), Byron, California Currently Available Period of Record: April 1, 2000 through February 15, 2007. This program has produced seven years of water quality multiprobe data at the TFCF since April 2000. DOI USBR Geography and Environment
Hydrological Information by Sampling Station within the Great Plains Region of the Bureau of Reclamation The Bureau of Reclamation operates a network of automated hydrologic and meteorologic monitoring stations (Hydromet) located throughout the Great Plains Region. The Hydromet network collects remote field data and transmits it via satellite to provide real-time water management capability. Hydromet data is then integrated with other sources of information to provide streamflow forecasting and current runoff conditions for river and reservoir operations. This dataset includes the geographical locations of the sampling stations and associated parameters for data collection in each state within the Great Plains Region. DOI USBR Natural Resources

Hydropower Potential in the Western U.S. The dataset includes design elements, installed capacity, production capability, associated costs and cost -to-benefit ratios for nearly 200 water storing and conveying structures currently maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation. These data were used to support the internal study and report for assessing hydropower capability at 70 of Reclamation's existing facilities where hydropower has not been developed. The dataset can further be leveraged to support applications designed to provide a better understanding of our hydropower production potential and resource utilization. DOI USBR Natural Resources

2010-2011 Hydrologic Survey of Franklin D. Roosevelt Reservoir (Lake Roosevelt) Reclamation's survey of Franklin D. Roosevelt Reservoir (Lake Roosevelt) began in October 2010 and continued during portions of June, July, and August of 2011. The primary purpose was to develop detailed digital reservoir topography. The underwater survey was conducted between water surface elevation 1,260 and spilling elevation 1,290 (project datum in feet). This study measured the project vertical datum around 2.5 feet lower than the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The generated reservoir topography elevations were tied to NAVD88. The surface area and volume computations from the topography were shifted -2.5 feet to match the Grand Coulee project's vertical datum. The underwater survey used sonic depth recording equipment interfaced with real-time global positioning systems that provided continuous sounding positions throughout the underwater portion of the reservoir covered by the survey vessels. The 2010-11 reservoir topography was generated by importing digital coverages from 1974 aerial photogrammetry, 2007 bathymetry of the upper reservoir, and 2009-10 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) surveys combined with the 2010-11 bathymetric data. The 2010-11 bathymetric data was the first detailed bottom information of the deeper portions of Lake Roosevelt, below elevation 1,160. As of August 2011, at reservoir water surface elevation 1,290.0, the surface area was 81,991 acres with a total capacity of 9,715,346 acre-feet and an active capacity, between elevation 1,208.0 and 1,290.0, of 5,349,560 acre-feet.

Glendo Reservoir 2003 Sedimenation Survey The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) surveyed Glendo Reservoir in May and July of 2003 and January 2005 to develop a new topographic map and compute a present storage-elevation relationship (area-capacity tables). The 2003 underwater survey, conducted between lake elevation 4626 (feet) and 4629 (project datum), used sonic depth recording equipment interfaced with a global positioning system (GPS) that gave continuous sounding positions throughout the underwater portions of the reservoir covered by the survey vessel. In January 2005, a GPS land survey was conducted on a small portion of the upper reach of the reservoir. The above-water topography was determined by digitizing reservoir contours from the U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle (USGS quad) maps. The new topographic map of Glendo Reservoir was developed from the digitized USGS quad contours (adjusted in the upper reach using the January 2005 data) and the 2003 underwater data. Due to the lack of complete above water data, this study assumed no change since the 1972 reservoir resurvey from elevation 4640 and above. DOI USBR Geography and Environment
Salton Sea 1995 Hydrographic GPS Survey The Bureau of Reclamation surveyed the underwater area of Salton Sea from November 1994 through February 1995 to compile field data for developing a topographic map and computing a storage-elevation relationship (area-capacity tables). The bathymetric survey used sonic depth recording equipment interfaced with a GPS (global positioning system) that gave continuous sounding positions throughout the Salton Sea. The underwater topography was developed by a computer graphics program using the collected data. The above-water topography was determined by digitizing contour lines from the United States Geological Survey quadrangle (USGS quad) sheets that cover the Salton Sea area. The new topographic map of the Salton Sea is a combination of the digitized contours and the underwater measured topography. DOI USBR Geography and Environment
