Physical-Habitat and Geomorphic Data for Selected River Reaches in Central Arizona Basins, 1995-98
Abstract
This report presents data from physical-habitat and geomorphic measurements that were made at 11 stream reaches in the Central Arizona Basins study area of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment program from 1995 to 1998. Measurements of water velocity and depth, particle size of bed material, embeddedness of substrate, stream aspect, and solar contribution were made at each reach. In addition, the extent and type of dominant riparian vegetation along each reach were characterized. To maintain nationwide consistency, data-collection methods were based on protocols developed by the National Water-Quality Assessment program for the assessment of stream habitat.
