ABSTRACT: In many of the limited water resource areas of the western United States most water supplies have been put to beneficial uses. Energy, a fast expanding high-priority water use, is making challenging demands for these limited supplies. Can water supplies be stretched, supplemented, or redirected so that present uses can be maintained and energy water needs satisfied? The Bureau of Reclamation is investigating innovative methods of water management, reregulation, and use to meet these demands. Related programs under study include potentials for: development of additional hydroelectric power, installation of low-head turbines in western water courses, utilization of pumped storage and underground storage,...
This proposed work is focused on developing tools and information to improve the use of water resources data to inform management decisions (C.3.1.3 Task C). Specifically, we propose developing and deploying to the web a fully functional water resources “dashboard” that provides a one-stop location for comprehensive water management information for the Weber Basin, Utah. By providing one location for comprehensive water management information for the Weber Basin, we will effectively demonstrate that a similar system can be effectively deployed for both the Desert and Lower Colorado Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs).

Executive Summary: Our project combined field surveys of fish communities and habitat characteristics with estimates of population genetic structure to identify and evaluate critical factors influencing fish communities in the Gila River basin of New Mexico. Fish communities were structured along a strong habitat gradient associated with stream size, with distinct differences in the distribution of native and nonnative fishes. Nonnative warm-water species generally occurred in mainstem habitats, whereas coldwater nonnative salmonids occurred in high elevation tributaries. Habitat affinities of native species varied, with some occurring in mainstem habitats and others in tributaries. Several native species, such...
