Purpose

These data are intended to be used to characterize the position, elevation, volume, and morphology of the Los Padres Reservoir delta sediment where the Carmel River enters the reservoir. This assessment of reservoir sediment was made in response to the 2016 Soberanes Fire in the upper Carmel watershed, followed by high flows during water year 2017.
