Abstract
Depth Analysis on the Missouri River
Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management
Author(s): Kevin Borisenko, Lee Hughes
This paper describes the relationship between Missouri River flows and areas of shallow water. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) sounding data provided a means to interpolate the Missouri River channel bed. This and other data, including 15-foot digital elevation models, flow rating curves, U.S. Geological Survey stream flow data, and the COE Construction Reference Plane, allow Missouri River depths to be estimated at varying flow regimes. Analyses of this data allowed for quantifying acres and juxtaposition of any given depth class. The information was then used to produce three dimensional models for a fly through at each of three variant water stages. The results suggest that areas of shallow water increase with diminishing river flows.
