The Brazos River Authority provided 50 percent of the funding for this survey, while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, provided the remaining 50 percent of the funding through their Texas Water Allocation Assessment Program. Surveying was performed using a multi-frequency (208 kHz, 50 kHz, and 24 kHz), sub-bottom profiling depth sounder. In addition, sediment core samples were collected in select locations and correlated with the multi-frequency depth sounder signal returns to estimate sediment accumulation thicknesses and sedimentation rates.
