The lower reaches of the Arroyo Colorado have historically failed to meet their use under subsection 303(b) of the U.S. Clean Water Act due to fecal coliform bacteria and low dissolved oxygen (DO). Fish kills, especially at the tidal confluence at the In reported. Oxygen demand from Port of Harlingen, Texas, have bee sediment (SOD) for a river typically has two states - diffusion limited SOD (SOD) and potential SOD (pSOD), expressed when sediment is resuspended through increased flow or other disturbances. The objective of this research was to measure SOD in the Arroyo Colorado River in situ, estimate pSOD ex situ, and evaluate the relationship between SOD and the depositional environment. We measured SOD and pSOD in the Arroyo Colorado River at up to eight sites over - three sampling events. We identified the sample sites based on a modified Rosgen geomorphic index for streambed stabilization. Sites with high sediment deposition potential had high SOD. The average values of SOD between sites were 0.62 g/m(2)/day (standard deviation 0.38 g/m(2)/day) and ranged from 0.13 to 1.2 g/m(2)/day. Potential SOD values ranged from as low as 19.2 to as high as 2,779 g/m(3) sediment/day. Potential SOD can serve as an indicator of the possible impact of SOD from resuspended sediment in stream systems.
