The Upper Colorado River Basin contains large deposits of oil shale, tar sands, crude oil, coal, and natural gas. Agriculture still accounts for 90% of the water depletions, but future development of these energy resources is expected to take increasing amounts of water. A mixed-integer programming model was used to maximize returns to land, water, and mineral resources. The results were used to assess the need for government-sponsored water conservation measures to supplement water saving techniques employed by the private sectors in response to increased water prices. The feasibilities of various water saving techniques by industries and of various government-sponsored water conservation measures were examined...
Flaming Gorge Dam on the Green River, Utah was closed in November, 1962. Studies of fish populations from the dam downstream to Ouray, Utah, were conducted from July, 1963, to October, 1966. The objectives of these studies were: 1) to study changes in river environment associated with closure of the dam; 2) to determine species composition, distribution, and abundance of fishes in the study section; and 3) to compare 1963-1966 distribution of fishes with that reported in pre-impoundment collections. A total of 24,040 fish consisting of 9 indigenous and 12 exotic species was taken in 667 collections by electrofishing gear, gill nets, seines, and fry gear. Flaming Gorge Dam has caused a major change in the ecology...
