Simulation of Streamflow Using a Multidimensional Flow Model for White Sturgeon Habitat, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho—Supplement to Scientific Investigations Report 2005–5230

Table 6. Streamflow, surface-water elevation, and length and percentage of a longitudinal profile between river kilometers 244.6 and 252.7 meeting depth and velocity habitat criterion, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, May 18–June 30, 2006, and May 22–June 30, 2007.

[Mean-daily water-surface elevations: computed by interpolation between the Bonners Ferry and Tribal Hatchery gaging station. Reported length of river meeting Kootenai River Biological Opinion minimum depth criteria of 5 meters in 60 percent of a longitudinal profile of the river between river kilometers 244.6 and 252.7 during peak flow augmentation from Libby Dam during the white sturgeon spawning season is based on depth output from the braided-straight reach model (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2006). Reported length of river meeting Kootenai River Biological Opinion minimum flow velocities of 1 m/s or greater in 60 percent of a longitudinal profile of the river between river kilometers 244.6 and 252.7 during post-peak flow augmentation from Libby Dam during the white sturgeon spawning season is based on velocity output from the braided-straight reach model.
