Project Overview
The project will estimate the amount of sand loading at the mouth of the Blue Earth and Le Sueur Rivers using suspended sediment and bedload data collected by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) and the analysis results published by the USGS and others. The development of the estimates from USGS data and comparisons to existing estimates will strengthen the understanding of the magnitude of the sand component of the total sediment load in the rivers.
