This study was initialized to test and validate an innovative survey technique adopting the BioSonics DT-X echosounder, which has been successfully applied for surveying vegetation and sediment in many estuary and lake systems, but not for a shallow riverine system, like the Bow River in Alberta, Canada. The site for this study was selected to be a 500 meter reach on the Bow River just below the City of Calgary’s major wastewater treatment plant, the Bonnybrook Plant, where substantial levels of aquatic vegetation exist during summer. The BioSonics survey was performed three times under different growing seasons in 2010.
