Download or read book Development of a Simplified Approach for Assessing the Effects of Water Release Temperatures on Tailwater Habitat Downstream of Fort Peck Garrison and Fort Randall Dams written by John M. Nestler and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased water resources demand in the main stem Missouri River regulated by Corps of Engineers dams has intensified the conflict between the economic benefits of stream regulation and the need to protect natural river ecosystems. Credible predictive tools that can be quickly and easily applied are required to explore and screen alternative reservoir operating plans to determine the downstream water temperature effects on tailwaters supporting temperature-sensitive fishes. The screening model was developed in a two-step process. First, a one-dimensional, longitudinal, riverine model, CE-QUAL-RIV1, was used to predict the downstream water temperature in the 52-mile tailwater of Fort Randall Dam, the 70-mile tailwater of Garrison Dam, and the 186-mile tailwater of Fort Peck Dam on the Missouri River. The power of the comprehensive water-quality model was required to predict the complex downstream water temperature patterns resulting from variable year-to-year stratification, complex peaking hydropower release patterns, and variable meteorologic conditions. Downstream water temperatures were simulated for 108 scenarios for each tailwater, covering the expected range of boundary conditions. Second, the output from the 108 scenarios for each tailwater was statistically evaluated to identify major trends and patterns in the results.

Download or read book Physical Habitat Analysis Using the Riverine Community Habitat Assessment and Restoration Concept RCHARC written by John M. Nestler and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased water resources demand in rivers regulated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams has intensified the conflict between preservation of lotic ecosystems and economic benefits of stream regulatin or channel modification. The Riverine Community Habitat and Restoration Concept (RCHARC) facilitates evaluation of effects of different channel configurations or release patterns on fish habitat and can be used to balance water resources development and natural resource preservation. The RCHARC is applied to the Gavins Point Dam tailwater of the Missouri River as a case history to assess the effects of different reservoir release alternatives on habitat for native riverine warmwater fishes. Application of the RCHARC requires four steps. First a comparison standard must be selected which the project alternatives can be contrasted. Second, hydrologic and hydraulic features of the comparison standard having fish habitat significance are described and summarized as an annual series of monthly depth or velocity frequency distributions. Third, a similar approach is used to describe hydrologic and hydraulic features of the project alternatives. Fourth, the habitat value of each of the project alternatives is determined by similarity of their depth or velocity distributions to the distributions of the standard. The more similar an alternative is to the standard system, the higher it will be ranked.

Book excerpt: This proceedings, Engineering Hydrology, contains papers that were presented at the Symposium held in San Francisco, California, July 25-30, 1993. The objectives of the Symposium are to provide a forum for technology transfer among practicing hydrologic engineers, to present recent advances in engineering hydrology with emphasis on their applications to practical problems of engineering design and analysis, and to bridge the gap between the theory and the practical profession. The topics covered in this proceedings have a very broad range including: precipitation and runoff; drought and water supply; frequency analysis of extreme events; groundwater flow and contaminant transport; minimum stream flow and habitat; geographical information systems; watershed modeling; and global climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Missouri River Ecosystem: Exploring the Prospects for Recovery resulted from a study conducted at the request of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The nation's longest river, the Missouri River and its floodplain ecosystem experienced substantial environmental and hydrologic changes during the twentieth century. The context of Missouri River dam and reservoir system management is marked by sharp differences between stakeholders regarding the river's proper management regime. The management agencies have been challenged to determine the appropriate balance between these competing interests. This Water Science and Technology Board report reviews the ecological state of the river and floodplain ecosystem, scientific research of the ecosystem, and the prospects for implementing an adaptive management approach, all with a view toward helping move beyond ongoing scientific and other differences. The report notes that continued ecological degradation of the ecosystem is certain unless some portion of pre-settlement river flows and processes were restored. The report also includes recommendations to enhance scientific knowledge through carefully planned and monitored river management actions and the enactment of a Missouri River Protection and Recovery Act.
