ADFM Measurement of Tidally-induced Flow and Stage in a Canal Headworks
Publication: Building Partnerships
Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) recently completed a design of a fish screen at Contra Costa Water District's (CCWD) canal at Rock Slough, near Brentwood, California. An important component of the fish screen design process was an accurate determination of the maximum flow through the fish screen. Canal flow can be generated by the pumping plant and/or tidal flows. Reclamation used an acoustic Doppler flow meter (ADFM) to measure the tidally-induced flow and corresponding stage over several tidal cycles. The acoustic Doppler velocity profiles were compared to velocity profiles measured using electromagnetic current meters.
