Telegraph Canyon Creek Channel Improvement Project, San Diego County, California; Hydraulic Model Investigation

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA201070 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Tests were conducted on a 120-scale model of Telegraph Canyon to determine the amount of head that would be required to increase the capacity of the culverts from 1,700 cfs to 3,300 cfs, and to develop an energy dissipator design downstream from the existing culverts. Initially, the model reproduced approximately 3,400 ft of the channel and culverts from sta 6939 to 3531. Later in the testing program, the model was modified to reproduce upstream channel improvements to sta 7800 to reflect the change in location of the inlets to the box culverts from sta 5970 to 6740.
