Bathymetric Survey Program

Robert E. Snoza


HCFCD Environmental Quality Section has established a program that monitors the change of wet bottom detention basin volume over time due to sediment deposition or removal in the permanent pool(s). Recurring surveys have revealed that HCFCD regional detention facilities are dynamic and further monitoring and analysis is needed to determine maintenance intervals and design refinements. Presentation will cover program history and findings to date (2019).
