1. To develop flow calculation techniques for bridges and culverts under US-41, between Carnestown and County Road 92. First year focusing on the section between Faka-Union Canal and County Road 92, expanding east to State Road 29 in the second year of the study.
2. To provide support to on-going CERP and DOI studies populating hydrologic databases that can also be used by other federal and state agencies, universities, and local institutions conducting studies in the area.
1. Installation of a maximum total of four flow stations at bridges of Tamiami Trail between Faka-Union canal and County Road 92 for the collection of stage, velocity, discharge, salinity (or Specific Conductance), and temperature data. 2. Begin discharge measurements with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) or comparable instrument at these and all other bridges (or culverts) along the same section of Tamiami Trail. 3. Start developing velocity calibration ratings for all instrumented sites to calculate discharge records. 4. Begin correlation analyses to determine relations between instrumented sites and all other non-instrumented sites, in order to calculate individual flows across all bridges and culverts within the study area.
2. Continue discharge measurements with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) or comparable instrument at these and all other bridges (or culverts) along the same section of Tamiami Trail.
3. Continue developing velocity calibration ratings for all instrumented sites to calculate discharge records. 2007 drought conditions prevented measurements for expected ranges of discharge.
4. Continue correlation analyses to determine relations between instrumented sites and all other non-instrumented sites, in order to calculate individual flows across all bridges and culverts within the study area. Additional measurements will be required in FY-2008 in an attempt to capture higher discharge conditions as compared to those obtained in 2007.
USGS Data Series Report documenting all data and information generated thru this project will be prepared and published by September 30, 2010
