OpportunityTitle: Suisun Bay Hydrodynamics: Interagency Ecological Progam (IEP) Fall X2 Study
Description: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to Stanford University under the authority of catalog for domestic assistance (CFDA) 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). Estimated total amount of agreement is $275,537.00. The purpose of the agreement is to improve understanding of the hydrodynamics of the San Francisco estuary and the processes responsible for variation in the salt and turbidity fields. The principal objectives of this study are to: (i) collect and archive a comprehensive flow and water quality data set for the Fall season in Suisun Bay; and (ii) analyze the data collected to characterize the hydrodynamics and salinity dynamics during the Fall in Suisun Bay, including the implications for X2, the location of the area where the fresh and salt water meet; turbidity, transport of fish larvae and salinity in shallow perimeter habitats.
