    <descript>
      <abstract>We mapped surface water  from high resolution photography taken on September 16, 2010, at a stream flow of 96.5 m3/s (3,410 ft3/s, Cisco gage).   We subdivided surface water into six categories: primary channel, secondary channel, split flow channel, backwater, isolated pool, and tributary channel, similar to that of fish habitat methods used extensively in Oregon.  Channel types that are not primary channel are considered ‘off-channel’.</abstract>
      <purpose>Channel mapping was done at low flow to estimate habitat quality for birds and fish.</purpose>
