Tabular-Text Files of Habitat Reach Data for Water Year 2000

The following links list up to five tab-delimited text files containing habitat reach data collected at several sites. An explanation of column headers in these files can be accessed at this link.

Reach -- General description of the sampled reach.

Geomorphic Channel Unit (GCU) -- Fluvial geomorphic descriptors of channel shape and stream velocity (for example pool, riffle, or run).

Transect -- Channel and bank measurements made along transects (cross sections) within each reach.

Channel features -- Measurements of bars, shelves, and islands at each transect (cross section).

Transect Points -- Channel and substrate measurements and observations at points along a transect (cross section).
