1 Alluvial Bar Morphology and Dynamics in the Middle Rio Grande: Application to Habitat Restoration for the Rio Grande Silvery Minnow Mike Harvey Mussetter Engineering, Inc.
2 WORK CONDUCTED FOR: New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission Middle Rio Grande ESA Collaborative Program
3 WHAT IS A BAR?? Discrete alluvial feature formed by deposition and modified by erosion Can be mid-channel or bank-attached Can be subaerial or subaqueous Can be stationary or mobile Can be vegetated or unvegetated
4 PROJECT OBJECTIVES Evaluate bar changes over time in response to changes in flow, sediment supply and channel morphology Develop a bar classification Relate fluvial processes to bar types Apply results to river/habitat restoration

37 CONCLUSIONS Bar indices reflect changes in flow, sediment supply and channel morphology Bar classification is a communication tool, and provides first-cut hydraulic assessments
38 CONCLUSIONS Active braid bars require average shear stresses < 0.2 psf Inundation of bars leads to vertical growth and reduced frequency and duration of inundation Degradation will adversely affect restoration efforts, so vertical stability must be assessed

Must be able to translate biological objectives into physical parameters to provide a basis of design. Bar classification provides a first-cut tool for relating fluvial process to habitat requirements and initial site selection.
