The DVCD along with R.O. Anderson Engineering, Inc., NDEP and finished monitoring several completed river restoration project sites. The project was initiated in 2000 and will continued through 2008. The monitoring project was initiated to evaluate ten restoration project sites located within an eight mile reach of the Carson River located in the Dayton Valley area of Lyon County, Nevada. The district in working with our partners has established an aerial topographical survey, annually surveys 48 cross-sections, has developed a localized hydraulic model, completes annually vegetation monitoring, soils monitoring, water quality sampling and photo point monitoring for this area of the Carson River.
The information gathered on an annual basis pertaining to this project will be utilized to provide up to date information on design criteria that is successful and applying that information to future river restoration projects. The project was completed December 2005 with a final report presented in October 2007.
The DVCD believes that this type of monitoring project will aid in providing state of the art river restoration information for the entire Carson River and other desert river systems in the arid west.
