U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Suspended Sediment Surrogate Testing in Idaho Molly Wood, P.E. USGS Idaho Water Science Center

Snake River nr Anatone, WA Clearwater River at Spalding, ID Kootenai River, ID – multiple locations Boise River near Parma, ID 6 surrogate gages w/acoustics

Gages

Results  Multi-frequency acoustics, laser diffraction, turbidity  Testing since 2007  Acoustics – best surrogate technology  1.5 to 3MHz generally work best  R 2 ranges 0.87 to 0.93  Total, fine, and coarse fractions  LISST: R 2 = 0.62 (when working)  Turbidity: R 2 = 0.65 – 0.92  Improvement over traditional transport curves

Real-Time Estimates on the Web Automation is key! GUI for computations, Written by Gary Wall, NY WSC June 1-9, 2011 Concentration

Moving forward  Need for automated processing software  Ability to market real- time sediment  Agreeing on methodology:  SNR vs Signal Strength  # of cells needed (and SDI- 12 limitations)  Negative attenuation  Voltage regulation
