This book was released on 2017 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turner, Eagle, and Orchard lakes, located in Southeast Alaska, support healthy populations of nonanadromous coastal cutthroat trout (CCT) and have each been classified by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as trophy cutthroat trout lakes. Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish selected Turner, Eagle, and Orchard lakes as candidates for reservations of water to protect CCT habitat, migration, and propagation. In order to collect the data necessary to file reservation of water applications, lake gages were operated on each lake. The gages were operated for five complete years, from September 2010 to October 2015. Lake elevation data were used to prepare reservation of water applications for each lake. These applications were filed using one year of preliminary data and were accepted by Alaska Department of Natural Resources and given priority dates in 2012. After five years of lake level data were collected and analyzed, new reservation of water applications were submitted to and accepted by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources on June 15, 2016. The applications are now in pending status until the adjudication process begins. Mean daily lake elevations on Turner Lake ranged from a high of 86.22 ft above mean sea level (AMSL) recorded on August 22, 2011 to a low of 78.41 ft AMSL recorded on April 6, 2012. Eagle Lake mean daily lake elevations ranged from a high of 305.59 ft AMSL recorded on September 13, 2012 to a low of 300.11 ft AMSL recorded on March 6, 2014. Orchard Lake elevations ranged from a high of 150.59 ft AMSL recorded on October 10, 2015 to a low of 141.19 ft AMSL recorded on March 6, 2014.

Download or read book Haa Aan written by Walter Goldschmidt and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1940s, a boom in white migration to Southeast Alaska brought up questions of land and resource rights. In 1946, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs assigned a team of researchers to interview old and young villagers to discover who owned and used the lands and waters of the region and under what rules. Their report is published here for the first time in book form, along with text of interviews with 88 natives, a reminiscence by an anthropologist on the research team, and an introduction explaining the context and significance of the original report.

Download or read book Hydrologic Investigation in Support of Reservation of Water on Windfall Creek 2013 to 2018 written by Jarrod J. Sowa and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Windfall Creek watershed, located 18 miles northwest of Juneau in Southeast Alaska, is an important freshwater sport fishery that provides habitat for many fish species at various life stages. In 2013, ADF&G began a multiyear project to collect the hydrologic data necessary to file a reservation of water application to protect instream flows within one reach of Windfall Creek. To collect the data necessary to file a reservation of water application, a streamgage was operated on Windfall Creek from July 17, 2013, to September 30, 2018. Streamflow data collected at the streamgage was used to prepare a reservation of water application to reserve instream flows in one reach of Windfall Creek. Instream flows were requested to attempt to mimic the natural seasonal patterns of streamflows observed within Windfall Creek. The original application was filed using the first 14 months of streamflow data collected and was accepted by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources on September 2, 2015. After 5 years of streamflow data were collected and analyzed, the original application was amended incorporating the additional data.

Download or read book Tijuana River Valley written by Samuel Safran and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tijuana River Valley Historical Ecology Investigation synthesizes hundreds of historical maps, photographs, and texts to reconstruct the ecological, hydrological, and geomorphic conditions of the Tijuana River valley prior to major European-American landscape modification. How did the valley look and function before there was the state of California, the city of Tijuana, or an international border? What habitat types and wildlife were found there? How have these habitat types and the physical processes that shaped them changed over time? And finally, what can the valley's ecological past tell us about its present and future? In answering these fundamental questions, this richly-illustrated study provides scientists, managers, and residents in the valley with information designed to support and inspire ongoing management and restoration activities.

This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trees have been around for more than 370 million years, and today there are about 80 thousand species of them, occupying 3.5 billion hectares worldwide, including 250 million ha of commercial plantations. While forests can provide tremendous environmental, social, and economic benefits to nations, they also affect the hydrologic cycle in different ways. As the demand for water grows and local precipitation patterns change due to global warming, plantation forestry has encountered an increasing number of water-related conflicts worldwide. This document provides a country-by-country summary of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between forest management and water resources. Based on available research publications, the Editor-in-Chief of this document contacted local scientists from countries where the impact of forest management on water resources is an issue, inviting them to submit a chapter.
