Suspended-Sediment Data for the Bogachiel and Calawah Rivers, WA for Water Years 2019-2021
December 1, 2022
This data release summarizes suspended sediment monitoring results on the Bogachiel (USGS 12042800) and Calawah (USGS 12043000) Rivers between water years 2019 and 2021, based on a combination of continuous turbidity monitoring and discrete suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) measurements. Data and results for each monitoring station were combined into zip files. Each zip file contains:
Summarized SSC measurements used in model calibration,
a detailed model archive summary documenting the process used to estimate SSC at 15-minute intervals, and
full 15-minute estimates of SSC and suspended loads between Oct. 1, 2018 and Sept 30, 2021.
Metadata files within the zip files provide additional details on the file structure.

Quantifying suspended-sediment load and transport characteristics in the Calawah and Upper Bogachiel Rivers, Washington
The issue: Salmonid fisheries are an important cultural and economic activity and efforts to support a thriving fisheries industry remain a major priority for the Quileute Tribe on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Land use changes can have a profound influence on basin sediment production with direct effects on fisheries (Madej and Ozaki, 2009). Studies are needed to improve estimates of the...
