Project Overview
The project will estimate sand-sized sediment loads for the Blue Earth and Le Sueur Rivers using United States Geological Survey (USGS) measurements to create an overall sediment budget for the rivers in conjunction with already completed fine sediment budgets. The development of the estimates from USGS data and comparisons will strengthen the understanding of the magnitude of the sand component of the total sediment load in the rivers.
