As water levels rose, causing some wa- terways to overflow their banks, residents of Keene, New Hampshire cast worried eyes on two of the New England District’s dams – Surry Moun- tain Dam and Otter Brook Dam. Concerns were heighten about stor- age levels behind the dams on Oct. 12 when Surry Mountain Dam reached 73 percent capacity. District officials per- formed water releases at channel capac- ity, but the pool stages only fell slightly. “The projects continued to release as much as they could, but we throttled back as required to keep the Keene Gage on the Ashuelot River below flood stage,” said Paul Marinelli, Team Leader, Res- Photo by John Asseng.

The wS ift aW ter Place: Water Quality, Fish Ecology, and Hydropower in the Merrimack River since the Time of Thoreau Abstract The eM rrimack River and its landscape reflect the priorities that have shaped the stream for two centuries. When Henry David Thoreau and his brother John put their dory into the Merrimack in September of 1839, they were paddling into a landscape that was shifting towards water-powered industries and mill cities. The legal transformation of water and the completion of the Great Stone Dam at Lawrence in 1847 spelled the end of the anadromous fish runs that had populated the Merrimack for centuries. Salmon restoration proceeded for three decades after the Civil War until fish passage failed.
