TASKS:

  1. Hydrologic series

    1. Secure 65-yr series for Tijuana river basin at entrance to the U.S (Parra).

    2. Secure Tijuana river basin area at entrance to U.S. (Parra).

    3. Secure percentages of areas: (a) controlled (by three dams: Morena, Barrett, and Rodriguez) and (b) uncontrolled (Parra).

    4. Secure El Barbon-Guadalupe river basin areas, at mouth of Cañon Hondo and at Ejido Santa Rosa (IMIP).

    5. Develop procedure to adjust Tijuana river series to El Barbon-Guadalupe (Visualab).

  2. River bed profile

    1. Confirm river bed profile for Guadalupe river (Visualab).

    2. Select computational reaches (Visualab) (20 reaches).

  3. Field survey (Team; Ponce, Zuniga, Castro, Gostomelskiy)

    1. Measure cross sections (widths and side slopes) for all computational reaches (20).

    2. Sample bed material for all computational reaches (20).

    3. Estimate Manning's n for all computational reaches (20).

  4. Lab analysis (GIRL)

    1. Perform grain size analysis in 20 samples.

    2. Report curves and mean diameter (mm).

  5. Modeling (Visualab)

    1. Develop routing model (Fortran).

    2. Sediment transport calculation with Colby subroutine.

    3. Divide flow series into several (2-3 series).

    4. Determine amounts of sediment deposition per reach.

    5. Integrate sediment deposition per year, per computational reach, per 65-yr period, per study reach.

  6. Write report and post on web.
