| Description | A Professional Project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Water Resources, Water Resources Program, at the University of New Mexico. The surface of the floodplain serves as a vadose zone boundary where water infiltrates, evaporates, or returns to the river, and sediments accumulate or are eroded. The discharge of the Middle Rio Grande has been altered by the construction of Cochiti Dam and the implementation of levees. Hydraulic connectivity in the Middle Rio Grande floodplain is perhaps most apparent at a small local wetland and a low-lying trough with a high water table capable of causing seeping floods. The objective of... |
