Summary of alluvial-channel data from Rio Grande conveyance channel, New Mexico, 1965-69

Abstract

The Rio Grande conveyance channel near Bernardo, N. Mex., was the site for a field study of mechanics of flow and sediment transport. During the period of study, the channel bed consisted of sands with median diameters ranging from 0.15 to 0.35 millimeters, and the bed form varied from dunes to flat. A few data were obtained at two other locations in the channel system.
