Review of the impacts of fluctuating flows on the Lower Clearwater River and recommendations for future studies Item Info

This report is intended to present summaries of the present and potential impacts of flow fluctuations caused by power releases from Dworshak Dam, on the north fork of the Clearwater River to Lewiston, Idaho, on various environmental, recreational, economic and social activities. [...] The main body of the report gives an overview of the impacts, present or potential, on the major environmental, social, and economic activities. Those sources of information that contributed directly to the preparation of this part of the report are referenced in the specific section. Other sources of information which contributed background information are listed in the bibliography. After each section, an analysis is presented which attempts to prioritize the areas of greatest concern. These analyses were derived from the summaries and interdisciplinary conference held at the IWRRI, University of Idaho, on September 19, 1978, specifically for prioritizing future research activities on the lower Clearwater River in regard to fluctuating flows. Appendix I lists the people and their positions who took part in the conference on September 19. Finally, a prioritized list of future research activities which are considered the most important: (1) to assess the impacts at the present level of fluctuation; (2) to assess the impacts at possible increased levels of fluctuations; and (3) studies that would address possible ways of lesser potential adverse impacts.
