Lacueva Arroyo Inlet, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Abstract

The LaCueva Arroyo Inlet collects the runoff in the LaCueva Arroyo basin and merges the flow into the North Diversion Structure, which diverts upland runoff around Albuquerque, NM. Built in the late 1960's, the LaCueva Arroyo Inlet was designed to pass 5,500 dfs. Recent development in the Albuquerque area has generated a proposal to divert 2,000 dfs from a neighboring basin into the LaCueva Arroyo basin, increasing the peak flow to 7,500 cfs. Also due to this development, it has been proposed to remove the existing converging inlet section from the LaCueva Arroyo Inlet and extend the concrete channel several thousand feet upstream. Either of these proposals would change the flow conditions entering the LaCueva Arroyo Inlet. Keywords: Channel junction, Flood control, High-velocity flow. (JES)
