Objective

This projects goal is to identify sites where inundation, from 5,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) flows, reaches the levees on the Isleta to San Acacia Reach in order to help identify Priority Maintenance Sites. 5,000 cfs was chosen because of the amount of overbanking, a common recurrence interval, and during these conditions levee repairs have been needed. The Isleta to San Acacia Reach is located south of Albuquerque and North of Socorro. The downstream boundary is near San Acacia Diversion Dam at River Mile 116. The upstream boundary is near Bosque Farm at River Mile 164. River Mile 0 is located at Elephant Butte Dam.
