In the early years of American history, it was considered a natural menace. It tore through desert lands, flooded agricultural fields, and inundated villages. The magnitude of the riverf lows alternated between ravaging floods in the spring to a mere trickle in late fall. Western water planners, particularly those in California, supported the Bureau of Reclamation in doing something to control and harness the energy of the river. Consequently, a series of dams were built; namely, Hoover, Imperial, Parker, and Davis. However, construction of these regulatory structures resulted in secondary problems which assumed great importance. While the flow of the river had been regulated, instability of the river channel itself had not. It was necessary for the river to undergo significant changes as it adjusted to its new environment. Each reservoir, acting as a sediment trap, cleared up the muddy water and released clear water which then picked up sediment that had been deposited by earlier floods. The silt thus picked up moved downstream and was deposited on the riverbed in the slow-moving water at the head of the next reservoir. Thus the reaches of river below the dams were scoured and deepened whereas other reaches such as in Topock Gorge and the reach of river above Imperial Dam were raised by extensive sediment deposits. The effects of the raised riverbed in Topock Gorge extended north to the City of Needles where a portion of the city became inundated. This emergency situation at Needles led to new legislation designed to deal with river problems along the entire lower river below Hoover Dam. Existing authority under the Colorado River Front Work and Levee System Act was expanded in 1946 to permit the Bureau of Reclamation to initiate an active Colorado River Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Program. The initial goal of the work was to prevent flooding and destruction of lands resulting from meander of the river and deposition of sediment in the river channel. It was soon apparent, however, that other objectives needed to be incorporated in project plans such as salvage of water, stabilizing and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat, and improving recreational opportunities. To meet these goals, comprehensive planning reports have been prepared using multiple-purpose planning concepts for attainment of maximum overall 2 project benefits. Such multiple-purpose planning sometimes limits the attainment of single-purpose objectives such as the accomplish- ment of the greatest possible water salvage or the greatest possible recreational value. In multiple-purpose planning, each single-purpose objective is given weighted consideration so that the overall public benefits may be maximized. For administration purposes, the lower Colorado River below Davis Dam has been divided into ten Divisions as shown on the frontispiece map. The status of the program in each Division of the Colorado River Front Work and Levee System is discussed below. Mohave Valley Division Scouring of the river channel below Hoover Dam by the clear water released from the reservoir, and subsequent deposition of the sediment thus eroded in the zone of backwater influence of Parker Dam, created a problem of severe aggradation in the lower Mohave Valley. Prior to 1946, aggradation of the channel in the lower valley caused a rise in average water levels until there was serious flooding near Needles and the threat of worsened conditions. Channel stabilization was initiated in 1949 with initial work consisting of dredging of an improved channel between Needles and Topock. 3 This work and associated levee construction eliminated the immediate threat to Needles. However, it did not, by itself, provide the river stability between Davis Dam and Topock which was needed to assure that the problem would not recur. Channel dredging, levee construction, and associated work were subsequently accomplished upstream from Needles to a point about 10 miles below Davis Dam to reduce the pickup and transport of sediment. A settling basin was also constructed in the river above Topock to trap the sediment arriving from upstream sources and prevent it from depositing in Topock Gorge. A 12-inch dredge has been used in the basin for removal of sediment deposition. As a result of this work, the needed stability of the channel was achieved and water levels at Needles were brought under control. Related work for the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat and recreational features has also been provided. Topock Marsh, which came into existence after the closure of Parker Dam and the filling of Lake Havasu in 1938, has been encompassed with a dike to maintain water levels at elevation 455 feet. At this water height, approximately 4,000 acres of open water are available for fisheries and wildlife manage- ment. Inlet and outlet structures were constructed to supply water apportioned to the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. The Bureau of Reclamation participated in the development of Park Moabi Marina 4 below Needles. Popularity of the Marina has increased each year since its construction. Future work in this Division will pertain primarily to maintenance of constructed features. Other minor work which may be beneficial to channel stability or improvement of fish, wildlife, and recreation may be undertaken consistent with long-range plans. Aside from the benefits to fish and wildlife and recreation, the constructed features will reduce the sediment transport into Topock Gorge and Lake Havasu by about 121,000 tons per year.

  • The Salt River – by Elly – Summer 2016
    The Salt River – by Elly – Summer 2016 After living in Arizona for many years, I only recently discovered the pleasure of kayaking and tubing. So far, I have been on the river below Saguaro Lake, on Saguaro Lake, and on Canyon Lake; the other two lakes created in the Salt River, Apache and Roosevelt Lakes, (hopefully) remain to be explored. The Rio Salado, or Salt River, was dammed between the early 1900s and 1930s to provide water and electricity to the Phoenix area, and later served recreational needs. The first dam to be constructed was Roosevelt so my description goes from the `younger’ to the `older’ lakes. Some of my information on the river comes from here. The Four Lakes of the Salt River, from left to right: Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, and Roosevelt The Salt River flows into the Gila River to the West of Phoenix and the Gila contributes to the Colorado, near Yuma, in the Southwest of Arizona. This river is supposed to end in the Gulf of California but rarely has enough water (see here). The ecological impact of dams has been huge. Edward Abbey and others are famous for having suggested Monkey Wrenches to sabotage the plans for the dams in the West. There is always talk of restoring the natural flow in the river; see here. Apart from the ecological impact on bird populations, salinization, and silting, the politics behind dams is ugly. The 1972 Damming the West details the lobbying of the Bureau of Reclamation to keep new projects going even though there was no (agricultural) need for them.

  • ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower
    ATTACHMENTS ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower Colorado River This attachment to the Colorado River Interim Surplus Criteria DEIS describes the dams and reservoirs on the main stream of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona to Morelos Dam along the international boundary with Mexico. The role that each plays in the operation of the Colorado River system is also explained. COLORADO RIVER INTERIM SURPLUS CRITERIA DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT COLORADO RIVER DAMS AND RESERVOIRS Lake Powell to Morelos Dam The following discussion summarizes the dams and reservoirs along the Colorado River from Lake Powell to the Southerly International Boundary (SIB) with Mexico and their specific roles in the operation of the Colorado River. Individual dams serve one or more specific purposes as designated in their federal construction authorizations. Such purposes are, water storage, flood control, river regulation, power generation, and water diversion to Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. The All-American Canal is included in this summary because it conveys some of the water delivered to Mexico and thereby contributes to the river system operation. The dams and reservoirs are listed in the order of their location along the river proceeding downstream from Lake Powell. Their locations are shown on the map attached to the inside of the rear cover of this report. Glen Canyon Dam – Glen Canyon Dam, which formed Lake Powell, is a principal part of the Colorado River Storage Project. It is a concrete arch dam 710 feet high and 1,560 feet wide. The maximum generating discharge capacity is 33,200 cfs which may be augmented by an additional 15,000 cfs through the river outlet works.

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.
