TASKS:

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

  2. Secure the basin area for the Tijuana river basin 60-yr flow series (Parra).

  3. Determine the basin area for the El Barbon-Guadalupe river basin at two locations (IMIP/Zuñiga):

    • Mouth of Cañon Hondo, and

    • Cañon Santa Rosa I.

  4. Correlate the TRB-EBGRB data (find the ratio of drainage areas, and apply to the series) (SDSU).

  5. Develop an updated profile of the study reach, between mouth of Canon Hondo and Cañon Santa Rosa I (approximately 42 km) (SDSU).

  6. Field Survey No. 1: Estimate channel width and side slopes in study reach (21 locations, that is, approximately every 2 km) (IMIP-SDSU).

  7. Determine the variation of bottom slope along the study reach (20 bottom slopes) (SDSU).

  8. Field Survey No. 2: Sample the creek bottom to determine mean size diameter of sand (21 values) (IMIP-SDSU).

  9. Perform lab analysis to calculate mean diameter (21 values, SDSU).

  10. Field Survey No. 3: Estimate Manning's n in the study reach (20 values) (SDSU).

  11. Run sediment routing model to determine amounts of deposition per reach, per series (SDSU).

  12. Integrate the results into a volume per study reach (million cubic meters) per 60-yr flow series (SDSU).

  13. Other aspects of the study (IMIP/Zuñiga).

  14. Write a report detailing findings (SDSU-IMIP).

  15. Post report on the web (SDSU).
