Each 0.3-meter raster cell represents the surface elevation as derived \nbathymetric and topographic surveys and verified with RTK GPS. \nThe Yampa River in northwestern Colorado is the largest, relatively unregulated river system in the upper \nColorado River Basin. Water from the Yampa River Basin continues to be sought for a number of municipal, \nindustrial, and energy uses. It is anticipated that future water development within the Yampa River Basin \nabove the amount of water development identified under the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery \nImplementation Program and the Programmatic Biological Opinion may require additional analysis in order \nto understand the effects on habitat and river function. Water development in the Yampa River Basin \ncould alter the streamflow regime and, consequently, could lead to changes in the transport and storage \nof sediment in the Yampa River at Deerlodge Park. These changes could affect the physical form of the \nreach and may impact aquatic and riparian habitat in and downstream from Deerlodge Park.\nThe U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, began a study in \n2011 to characterize the current hydrodynamic and sediment-transport conditions for a 2-kilometer reach \nof the Yampa River in Deerlodge Park. Characterization of channel conditions in the Deerlodge Park reach \nwas completed through topographic surveying, grain-size analysis of streambed sediment, and characterization \nof streamflow properties. This characterization provides (1) a basis for comparisons of current stream functions \n(channel geometry, sediment transport, and stream hydraulics) to future conditions, and (2) a dataset that can \nbe used to assess channel response to streamflow alteration scenarios indicated from computer modeling of \nstreamflow and sediment-transport conditions.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9KWGVC2", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.ac46c765-d9b1-4698-bc44-30a70fb5cf80.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_ac46c765-d9b1-4698-bc44-30a70fb5cf80", "keyword": ["USGS:ac46c765-d9b1-4698-bc44-30a70fb5cf80", "grain-size analysis", "stream hydraulics", "multibeam echo sounder", "bathymetry", "topographic surveying", "LiDAR", "channel geometry", "RTK GPS", "sediment transport"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-108.527125, 40.44097, -108.497939, 40.45417", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Yampa River channel elevation at Deerlodge Park, CO"}
