Objective(s): To provide training in hydraulic and morphological surveys and to further investigate the East Channel scour hole.

Project Description: At both the East Channel (Mackenzie Delta) and at Cabin Creek the elevation at various cross-sections will be measured so that a detailed contour map may be plotted. River bed material will be sampled to determine the size distribution of the bed material.
