 | | In that project, it was determined that additional field data, coupled with continuously-recorded tubidity data collected by the State of California Division of Water Resources (DWR), could improve the estimate of annual sediment load from the watershed. |
 | | DRI's principal goal in this project is to estimate the sediment load for the Truckee River in California, and to characterize the existing range of sediment flux and variability according to total amount, maximum, duration, timing and frequency of sediment transport events. |
 | | It is our working hypothesis that the natural range of the aforementioned characteristics of sediment loading support the beneficial uses of the Truckee River, and that loads outside the natural range of variability are damaging to beneficial uses. |
