Summary

We measured currents, suspended-sediment concentration (SSC), bed sediment characteristics, and vegetation biomass density in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in 2017-2018, as part of a project investigating the influence of invasive aquatic vegetation (IAV) on flow and sediment flux. This data release includes data from three sites: Lindsey Slough (April 2017), Middle River (March 2018) and the lower Mokelumne River (March 2018). At all three sites the IAV is dominated by the submerged species Egeria densa. Station locations, instrumentation, and measured variables are detailed on pages for each data type. IAV a poses a growing hazard to navigation, infrastructure, and ecosystems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. IAV has the potential [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to investigate the influence of submerged invasive aquatic vegetation (Egeria densa) on currents, SSC, and sediment flux in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The data will be used to elucidate impact of IAV on water clarity, which is important to fish habitat suitability, as well as on sediment supply to Delta marshes and to the San Francisco Estuary.
