RECNOTES. Volume R-01-1, May 2001

Abstract

Introduction The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has management jurisdiction of over 450 man-made lakes and an additional 24,000 miles of inland navigation streams in the continental United States. The reservoir projects alone include approximately 11.5 million acres of land and water and a total shoreline that exceeds the coastline of the continental United States. The reservoirs were impounded for flood control, navigation, hydroelectric power production, and other human uses. Natural resources associated with these projects are important for a variety of reasons, some of which are included in the stated congressionally authorized justifications for the projects. They also are the source of recreation benefits that have led to fish and wildlife management responsibilities for the agency.
