Bathymetry and watershed area for Falling Creek Reservoir, Beaverdam Reservoir, and Carvins Cove Reservoirs

General Information

Local Identifier:edi.969.1
Title:Bathymetry and watershed area for Falling Creek Reservoir, Beaverdam Reservoir, and Carvins Cove Reservoirs
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

This data package includes bathymetric data and watershed delineations for Falling Creek (FCR), Beaverdam (BVR), and Carvins Cove (CCR) Reservoirs, all located near Roanoke, VA, USA. Bathymetric data were collected using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and processed using WinRiver II and ArcGIS. Water level can vary in these reservoirs; at the time of ADCP measurement, maximum depth was ~9.3 m in FCR, ~13.5 m in BVR, and ~23 m in CCR. Bathymetric data are presented in two forms: (1) as hypsometric summaries of surface area and volume for 0.3-1.0 m depth intervals and (2) as spatially-explicit shapefiles (BVR and FCR) and TIN files (all reservoirs). Watershed areas were calculated using the StreamStats basin delineation tool provided by the United States Geological Survey, and are included as shapefiles for each reservoir.

Description:

Bathymetry

Bathymetric data for Falling Creek Reservoir and Beaverdam Reservoir (Vinton, VA, USA) were estimated following standard methods (e.g., Wahl and Vermeyen 1998). Both reservoirs are owned and operated as primary and secondary drinking water supplies, respectively, by the Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA). The data were collected using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP; RD Instruments, San Diego, CA, USA) operated from a moving boat when both reservoirs were at full pond: ~9.3 m for Falling Creek Reservoir and ~13.5 m for Beaverdam Reservoir. Global positioning system (GPS) data were collected simultaneously with the ADCP data collection over multiple transects across both waterbodies. Data from Falling Creek Reservoir and Carvins Cove Reservoir were collected in summer/fall 2012 and data from Beaverdam Reservoir were collected in July 2014. The ADCP and GPS data were processed using WinRiver II software (RD Instruments). To determine hypsometric contours, summary statistics were generated using the Surface Volume (3D Analyst) tool in the 3D Analyst Toolbox in ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, CA, USA). The data are presented as hypsometric relationships of surface area and volume for 0.3-1.0 m depth intervals in the two reservoirs, as well as in spatially-explicit TIN files and shapefiles.

Watershed

Watershed area was determined using the StreamStats basin delineation tool provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS; https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/).

Author contributions

The WVWA oversaw and supported bathymetry collection in its three reservoirs. PAG led ADCP measurements and analysis in FCR. KAB led ADCP measurements and analysis in BVR and CCR with help from CCC and DWH. CCC and ASL coordinated data documentation and publication. Watershed delineations were led by DWH (CCR) and WMW (FCR + BVR).
