Wernly 2022 publication n/a US Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211125 The Old Erie Canal has undergone sedimentation and aquatic growth that have restricted flow and diminished the aesthetic quality of the canal during the nearly 200 years since its construction. During 2018–2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Madison County Planning Department and the New York State Canal Corporation conducted a study of the Old Erie Canal between the Town of DeWitt, New York, and its junction with the current Erie Canal of the New York State Canal System near Rome, N.Y. The study comprised bathymetric, velocity, and water-quality surveys and documentation of the canal infrastructure. The USGS established benchmarks and staff gages along the 30.8 miles of the canal study area to reference the water-surface level in the canal to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Water-quality data (dissolved oxygen, water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and turbidity) were collected concurrently with the bathymetric survey (spring 2018) to characterize changes in water quality along the length of the canal. The canal infrastructure was documented to provide a baseline assessment. The objective of this study was to document the current hydrology and hydraulics of a 30.8 mile long section of the Old Erie Canal to meet the needs of the Madison County Planning Department and NYS Canal Corporation and provide data to water resource managers and land use planners to improve the water quality and aesthetics of the canal. The objective was implemented by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which is committed to providing reliable scientific information to describe hydrologic systems and understanding how hydrologic and geomorphic conditions change over time. This project supports the USGS Water Mission Area goal of contributing to the economic development of the Nation's water resources for the benefit of present and future generations. 2022 Publication date Complete None -76.0501833 -75.6706166 43.1166288 43.0435717 USGS Thesaurus geospatial datasets hydrology sea-floor characteristics bathymetry measurement GPS measurement USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5f04c33582ce21d4c3f89c81 None Old Erie Canal United States New York Madison County Oneida County Onondaga County None These points are defined for scientific research purposes and should not be used as a sole source of reference for any regulations and policy making.
