Description

B-roll Video: unedited footage.

The goal of the High Flow Experiment (HFE) is to move sand stored in the river channel and redeposit it to rebuild eroded sandbars and beaches downstream of the Paria River in Grand Canyon National Park. This footage is from a HFE that took place between November 5-10, 2018, when the Department of Interior increased the release of water from Glen Canyon Dam for an HFE of approximately 38,100 cubic ft per second (cfs) for 3 days.
