ABSTRACT Most of the dams built by the Bureau of Reclamation were completed before environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Protection Act, or Toxic Substances Control Act existed. The management and operation of dams was instituted under conditions where the ecology of the downstream habitat was unknown and largely ignored. Changing or modifying structures, flow regimes, and land use patterns are some of the efforts being pursued by the Bureau to reconcile or mitigate the effects of impoundment to comply with these environmental policies and to maximize the potential for recreation, fisheries, and water quality in tailwater habitats for the water resource users. The purpose of this report is to provide a reference document intended to aid in the management, compliance, and problem solving processes necessary to accomplish these goals in Bureau tailwater habitats.

  • Utilization of Unique Tailwater Habitats Below High-Head Dams Has Become
    Brown Trout Population Response to Trophy Regulations and Reservoir Discharge in a Large, Southeastern U.S. Tailwater by: David P. Dreves, Jeff R. Ross, and Jarrad T. Kosa Bulletin No. 111 March 2014 BROWN TROUT POPULATION RESPONSE TO TROPHY REGULATIONS AND RESERVOIR DISCHARGE IN A LARGE, SOUTHEASTERN U.S. TAILWATER By David P. Dreves, Jeff R. Ross, Jarrad T. Kosa Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources March 2014 Partially funded by Sport Fish Restoration Funds Sport Fish Restoration Project F-40 “Statewide Fisheries Research” ABSTRACT Reservoir tailwaters can be an important resource for developing quality trout fisheries, especially when managed with special regulations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a 508 mm minimum length limit and a one-fish-per-day creel limit on improving the size structure of the brown trout Salmo trutta population in the Cumberland River below Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. The purpose of the new regulations, which did not include gear or bait restrictions, was to increase the numbers of quality (381-507 mm total length) and trophy-size (≥ 508 mm total length) brown trout in the 121 km tailwater. A significant increase in brown trout electrofishing catch per unit effort was observed across years for small (< 381 mm), quality, trophy-size trout, and all sizes combined. As brown trout electrofishing and angler catch rates increased over time, no corresponding decrease in growth or condition was observed. Reservoir discharge was positively correlated with warmer water temperatures and lower dissolved oxygen in the tailwater. Growth and condition of brown trout in the tailwater were inversely correlated with an index of discharge from the reservoir.

POSITIVE INTERACTIONS IN FRESHWATER SYSTEMS A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Wildlife and Fisheries Biology by Samuel Clarence Silknetter December 2018 Accepted by: Dr. Brandon Peoples, Committee Chair Dr. Kyle Barrett Dr. Troy Farmer ABSTRACT The goals of this thesis are twofold, 1) to review the existing literature on positive interactions, and 2) to experimentally test the role of biotic context in a freshwater reproductive interaction. First, my co-authors and I have conducted a review of positive interactions in freshwaters to establish a direction for future research. By outlining case studies and causal mechanisms, we illustrate the diversity of positive interactions, and set the stage for a comprehensive look at the role of context in shaping interaction outcomes. Our research directive focuses on the value of both basic life history and experimental research, then using those findings to investigate these interactions under different contexts, in different levels of ecosystem structure, and at multiple geographic scales.

  • Tailwater Recovery and On-Farm Storage Reservoir: System Overview
    Tailwater Recovery and On-Farm Storage Reservoir: System Overview Tailwater recovery (TWR) systems are a combination of financially assisted (by Natural Resources Conservation Service) conservation practices aimed at collecting runoff and storing that water for irrigation. As freshwater resources for irrigation decline, this surface water storage structure is a viable option for capturing and recycling precipitation and irrigation runoff. Figure 1. Top: Section view diagram of a TWR system installed in Mississippi’s Delta region. Middle: Plan view diagram of the same TWR system. Bottom: The TWR system shown in diagrams. Potential practices in TWR systems • Critical area stabilization (342) • Pumping plant water control (533) (NRCS practice codes): • Irrigation water conveyance (430) • Access road (560) • Irrigation reservoir (436) • Irrigation water management (449) • Water control structures (587) • Tailwater recovery (437) • Precision land forming (462) • Dikes (356) In-Field TWR System Practices Precision land form- ing (land leveling, land grading) is used to direct water to one end of the field by grading the field with a slope of 0–0.1 inch per 100 feet run for rice and 0.1–0.2 inch per 100 feet run for cotton, corn, and soybeans. Figure 2. Depiction of precision land forming impact on landscape grade. Top: Diagram of unleveled corn field. Middle: Tractors and scrapers for precision land forming. Bottom: Diagram of precision graded field. Edge-of-Field TWR System Practices Water control structures (riser or slotted board pipes) are used to convey water from the field through the dikes (pads) on the perimeter of the field and into the TWR ditch.
