WFLHD Field Protocol for Fish Passage Structure Monitoring Training Workshop

What is AOP an acronym for?

Aquatic Opening Protocol

Aquatic Organism Passage

Acrobatic Octopus Performance

Aqua-spatial Opening Protocol

Fluvial Geomorphology is best defined as:

The deepest part of the channel

The study of the form of the physical shape of rivers and their interactions with water and sediment

The component of flood inundation outside of the main channel

Features of the channel bed that control the slope of the channel and provide habitat for local biota

None of the above

True / False: Good as-built data records are the basis of an effective monitoring program.

True

False

As-built records set the basis of our understanding on what the system was originally constructed as.

Flood prone is best defined as:

The study of the form of the physical shape of rivers and their interactions with water and sediment

The component of flood inundation outside of the main channel

Features of the channel bed that control the slope of the channel and provide habitat for local biota

The flooding extent of extreme storm events, commonly referenced as the 1% storm extent

True/False: The monitoring protocol only uses quantitative metrics to assess an AOP water crossing

True

False

The monitoring protocol uses both qualitative data collection and a quantitative visual assessment.

Thalweg is defined as:

The deepest part of the channel

The component of flood inundation outside of the main channel

Features of the channel bed that control the slope of the channel and provide habitat for local biota

Portion of the channel that is annually contributing to streambed erosion, deposition and sediment transport.

True / False: A lack of interior channel banks inside an AOP culvert is a sign of instability within the water crossing structure

True

False

The use of interior channel banks is not a characteristic of all types of AOP designs. They may never have been constructed for a particular crossing.

Active channel is best defined as:

The deepest part of the channel

The component of flood inundation outside of the main channel

Features of the channel bed that control the slope of the channel and provide habitat for local biota

Portion of the channel that is annually contributing to streambed erosion, deposition and sediment transport.

The top of active channel could be identified by which of the following features (check all that apply):

Top of bank for any stream channel

The top of a depositional feature, such as a point bar

Changes in stream bank slope that coincide with changes in particle size

Edge of water

Bedform is best defined as:

The component of flood inundation outside of the main channel

Features of the channel bed that control the slope of the channel and provide habitat for local biota

The flooding extent of extreme storm events, commonly referenced as the 1% storm extent

Portion of the channel that is annually contributing to streambed erosion, deposition and sediment transport.

Channel Features are (check all that apply):

Either natural or man-made

Used for comparison of (upstream / interior / downstream) channel characteristics in the monitoring protocol.

Collected to document potential limiting features for AOP

Collected to document typical channel characteristics

True / False: A channel spanning bedrock formation is a short-term stable channel feature.

True

False

True / False: Debris jams with oak tree trunks are long-term stable channel features.

True

False

What is an appropriate reference point for a standardized interior cross-sectional survey?

The thalweg

Bedrock formation

The crown of the pipe

Top of interior channel bank

What term best described the depositional feature in the photo?

Mid-channel bar

Pocket deposition

Point bar

Bed aggradation
