Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geomorphic Stability of Sandbar 43. 1l on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon in Response to Ground Water Seepage During Fluctuating Flow Releases From Glen Canyon Dam The Colorado River riparian zone and its associated resources in the Grand Canyon are influenced by the operation of Glen Canyon Dam. The'dam was constructed for several reasons, but primarily for flood control and water storage for Arizona, California and Nevada, as well as hydroelectric generation. The hydroelectric capability is designed to provide peak power generation during daily peak electrical demands. Consequently, the release of water from the dam fluctuates with power demand, and a daily surge of water continues downstream through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. Water levels in the river have fluctuated in narrow parts of the canyon as much as 4 meters in one day. A more typical fluctuation is from 1 to 3 meters. Interrelated processes occurring between the river and its riparian areas are affected by the fluctuation. This report describes the relationship of bank stored ground water to sandbar erosion occurring during fluctuating Colorado River flows. The Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam is within both Glen Canyon nra and Grand Canyon np. Nps concerns include the preservation of sandbars along the Colorado River. These sandbars have high natural resources value and are used as camping sites by park visitors floating down the river. The terms sandbars, alluvial sand deposits, selected alluvial deposits, and sediment deposits, have been used to describe what are colloquially called beaches. In this report, the term sandbar will be used to be consistent with recent reports of other investigators. The purpose of this report is to evaluate and demonstrate the role of ground water on sandbar erosion observed at Sandbar 43.1l during daily fluctuations of the Colorado River. The objectives are: 1) to confirm that ground water is a contributing factor to erosion; 2) to quantify sandbar erosion rates directly associated with ground water seepage from the sandbar; and 3) present a hypothesis of ground water related processes contributing to sandbar erosion.

This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The March 2008 high-flow experiment (HFE) at Glen Canyon Dam resulted in sandbar deposition and sandbar reshaping such that the area and volume of associated backwater aquatic habitat in Grand Canyon National Park was greater following the HFE. Analysis of backwater habitat area and volume for 116 locations at 86 study sites, comparing one month before and one month after the HFE, shows that total habitat area increased by 30 percent to as much as a factor of 3 and that volume increased by 80 percent to as much as a factor of 15. These changes resulted from an increase in the area and elevation of sandbars, which isolate backwaters from the main channel, and the scour of eddy return-current channels along the bank where the habitat occurs. Because of this greater relief on the sandbars, backwaters were present across a broader range of flows following the HFE than before the experiment.
