Platte River Stage Change Study

Project Client: Platte River Recovery Implementation Program
Project Location: Central Nebraska
Project Categories: Other Water Resources

The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (Program) was developed in 1997 between the U.S. Department of Interior and the States of Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming. The Program’s Governance Committee (GC) was established to review, direct, and provide oversight for Program activities. One of the Program’s goals is to assess the impacts to the pallid sturgeon that may be caused by Program or new water-related activities in the central Platte River covered by the states or federal depletion plans. In doing so, the Program GC commissioned a lower Platte River Stage Change Study to assist in determining the effects of flow changes over time on river stage and associated physical parameters. The physical parameters to be considered include, but are not limited to, flow quantity, depth, velocity, temperature, turbidity, sediment, and sandbars and bedforms at selected sites throughout the study reach.
