Summary

Water depths were measured during November 2015 and bathymetric elevations were computed for the lower Sixmile Creek reservoir in Ithaca, Tompkins County, N.Y. These data include ADCP-measured transect data and manually-measured point data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, Ithaca, N.Y., during November 16-20, 2015. These data were used by the GIS Program, City of Ithaca, N.Y., to create a bathymetric surface (TIN) of the reservoir.

Purpose

Data were used to estimate the volume of sediment that has accumulated in the reservoir since 1903 and the current water-storage capacity of the reservoir. These results will assist City of Ithaca personnel to make an informed decision regarding the disposition of the 30-ft dam that creates the reservoir. Options being considered include demolition and removal of the dam, renovation of the dam to meet current New York State safety standards, and repair of the gate at the base of the dam to permit use of the reservoir for flood-control purposes.
