The Influence of Channel Regulating Structures on Fish and Wildlife Habitat (GREAT-III).
Abstract
The study focused on measuring existing conditions and fish habitat around a selected group of river regulating structures. Prototype data was collected at dikes of varying design and location. Such data was subsequently used to determine specifics in regard to the fish habitat that exists around each type of dike analyzed. The purpose of this study is two-fold: To evaluate aquatic habitat diversity, accretion patterns, flow patterns and bed material gradation existing around in-place channel regulating structures at different locations and of varying design; and to recommend, where possible, data needs and structure modifications which will maintain or improve existing fish and wildlife habitat while preserving the geometry needed to maintain an acceptable navigations channel.
