Lake Powell is a large, dendritic reservoir that fills the Glen Canyon segment of the lower Colorado River. Operation of Lake Powerll in turn controls the hydrodynamics of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon National Park to Lake Mead. The limnology of the reservoir is greatly influenced by (1) the morphometry and geology of the canyon it fills, (2) the design and operation (including the economics of hydropower production) of the dam, (3) the hydrodynamics and chemistry of the inflowing rivers, and (4) climatic variability. The limnology of the reservoir, coupled with dam operations, therefore determines the limnology of the Colorado River downstream from Lake Powell. The purpose of this paper is to review...

A TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT WAS CONDUCTED OF WINTER OROGRAPHIC SNOWPACK AUGMENTATION (WOSA) IN THE UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASIN. THIS REPORT (VOLUME 2 OF TWO VOLUMES) DESCRIBES THE TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT WHICH CONSISTS OF A COST/EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF WOSA BASED ON THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ART IN SNOWPACK AUGMENTATION; ESTIMATE OF THE IMPROVEMENT IN COSTS AND BENEFITS THAT MIGHT BE ACHIEVED WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STATE OF THE ART OF SNOWPACK AUGMENTATION; ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF SNOWPACK AUGMENTATION ON THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS IN THE AREA OF NEED OR USE (BENEFICIARY AREA), THE AREA OF ORIGIN (TARGET AREA), AND PERIPHERAL AREAS; ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC ATTITUDES...
Stretching from the four corners of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah, the Colorado Plateau is a natural laboratory for a wide range of studies. This volume presents 23 original articles drawn from more than 100 research projects presented at the Sixth Biennial Conference of Research on the Colorado Plateau. This scientific gathering revolved around research, inventory, and monitoring of lands in the region. The book's contents cover management techniques for cultural, biological, and physical resources, representing collaborative efforts among federal, university, and private sector scientists and land managers. Chapters on cultural concerns cover benchmarks of modern southwestern anthropological knowledge,...
Once Glen Canyon Dam was completed in 1963, the Colorado River in its passage through the Grand Canyon would never be the same. Now sealed off at both ends, the Colorado has been transformed into a carefully-tended aquarium, its flow of water controlled and monitored. The effect on the Canyon's physical and biological systems has been extraordinary. Steven Carothers and Bryan Brown—both veteran river runners and scientists—draw on river history and ecological studies to demonstrate how Canyon life has adjusted to these sweeping environmental alterations. For example, they show how increased growth of algae in the now siltless waters have altered fish populations, and how changes in vegetation have encouraged...
