  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions Prepared cooperatively by Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Geological Survey What is a high-flow experiment? A high-flow experiment is a release of water from Glen Canyon Dam intended to rebuild high- elevation sandbars, deposit nutrients, and restore backwater channels. For 2008, it is proposed that approximately 41,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water be released from Glen Canyon Dam for 60 hours. What are the anticipated benefits of a high-flow experiment? Higher than normal flows are required to deposit sand up and onto eroded Grand Canyon sandbars, which serve as camping beaches for river runners and hikers, provide sediment needed to protect archaeological resources from erosion and weathering, and create habitats used by native fishes, particularly the endangered humpback chub (Gila cypha) and other wildlife. The experimental studies associated with the proposed 2008 high-flow experiment are designed to build upon existing scientific knowledge to inform managers about the efficacy of using high flows from the dam to improve a range of resources, including not only sandbars and humpback chub habitat, but also rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the aquatic food base, riparian vegetation, archaeological sites, and water quality. What is adaptive management? Adaptive management is generally understood to be a systematic process for continually improving management practices over time by emphasizing learning through experimentation. Adaptive management also incorporates collaboration among stakeholders, managers, and scientists who are knowledgeable about the system being evaluated. The comprehensive, iterative, and collaborative nature of an adaptive management approach is why it was implemented as part of the long-term management strategy for refining operations of Glen Canyon Dam to improve downstream resources.
