Book excerpt: Dams profoundly impact the geomorphology of rivers by altering the natural patterns of water, sediment and energy flow in rivers. These changes have a largely negative impact on aquatic and riparian ecosystems upstream and downstream of the dam. Natural dams also impact river geomorphology, although with positive and negative repercussions for aquatic and riparian organisms. In 2002, the 33rd Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium convened under the theme "Dams and Morphology," and featured invited papers and contributed posters on topics of natural dams, artificial dams, and dam removal. Fourteen of these papers have been included in this volume.

Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Task Committee on Sediment Dynamics Post-Dam Removal of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. Manual of Practice 122 provides guidance, documentation, and field results for the numerical and physical modeling of sediment movement when dams are removed from waterways. Dams alter ecology, block fish passage, increase downstream scour, and displace residents. As awareness grows regarding the adverse environmental impacts of dams on ecosystems and fish populations, interest in dam removal is gaining momentum. However, the impounded sediment collected behind many dams poses another set of environmental and technical problems. This manual addresses issues such as the behavior of stored sediment and overall stream geomorphology after a dam is removed. MOP 122 offers information about dam removal that is valuable to watershed and river managers, environmental engineers, and consultants, as well as to researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.

Book excerpt: Dams impair riverine ecosystems through multiple documented environmental and ecological problems. Due to this recognition dams worldwide have begun to be removed. In recent years, progression of river restoration programs focused on dam removal has surfaced. However, few studies have quantified substrate change and its impact on local fish communities following dam removal. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in 1) substrate geomorphology and 2) fish communities associated with the 2019 removal of two low-head dams, East Jackson St. dam and McCulloch Park dam, on the West Fork, White River in Muncie, Indiana. Side-scan-sonar was used to map substrates in 2012, 2017, and 2021. Using ArcGIS software, specific substrate types were delineated, and substrate areas were quantified. Fish communities were sampled annually from 2018 to 2021 at sites directly above and below the two low-head dams, in accordance with Muncie Sanitary District's Bureau of Water Quality annual sampling practices, using standardized electrofishing methods. Major variation occurred in the dominant substrate type and structure of the fish community structure following dam removal. At both dam sites, bedrock substrate increased over other substrate categories, while unidentified substrate had the greatest decreased rate of change, followed closely by sand substrate. Fish species richness shifted from the highest richness below dams prior to dam removal, to highest richness above dams following dam removal. Dominant fish taxa changed following dam removal. These results support continued monitoring and understanding of long-term effects associated with dam removal on the White River, and the use of dam removals as a river restoration tool elsewhere.

Download or read book Effects of Dam Removal on Resident Fish Movement in Cijiawan River, Taiwan written by Chia-Hsiu Chen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshwater fish change their movement patterns in response to natural or anthropogenic changes in habitat. Dam removal, a major restoration practice to restore river longitudinal connectivity, can affect river habitat with changes in flow regimes and morphological changes due to the sudden release of dam-trapped sediments. In Taiwan, a mid-size dam, Cijiawan #1 dam, was removed in 2011 to provide access to upstream habitat for the endangered target species, Taiwan salmon (Oncorhynchus masou formosanus). A three-phase radio telemetry tracking experiment was conducted to identify the movement patterns before, during and after dam removal. Some tagged fish were also displaced downstream to observe homing behavior. The movements of non-displaced fish showed reduced movement over time and persistence of location which indicates that the influence of disturbance due to capture and tagging was temporary. Displaced fish showed significant long distance movement toward their original home range immediately after release, but became as sedentary as non-displaced fish over time. The displaced fish homing behavior was limited by the barrier effect before dam removal, but daily movements and total absolute stream distance covered both increased after dam removal as fish began accessing upstream habitat. During the dam removal phase, fish below the dam moved very little when the heavy machinery was in the stream and then made long distance movements when upstream habitat was accessible after deconstruction. The rapid response of Taiwan salmon in this study confirmed that the new habitat opened by the dam removal project could be utilized almost immediately, but the sensitivity to habitat degradation indicates that extra attention to short-term habitat impacts should be considered for future stream restoration practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book surveys the frontier of scientific river research and provides examples to guide management towards a sustainable future of riverine ecosystems. Principal structures and functions of the biogeosphere of rivers are explained; key threats are identified, and effective solutions for restoration and mitigation are provided. Rivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. They increasingly suffer from pollution, water abstraction, river channelisation and damming. Fundamental knowledge of ecosystem structure and function is necessary to understand how human acitivities interfere with natural processes and which interventions are feasible to rectify this. Modern water legislation strives for sustainable water resource management and protection of important habitats and species. However, decision makers would benefit from more profound understanding of ecosystem degradation processes and of innovative methodologies and tools for efficient mitigation and restoration. The book provides best-practice examples of sustainable river management from on-site studies, European-wide analyses and case studies from other parts of the world. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of aquatic ecology, river system functioning, conservation and restoration, to postgraduate students, to institutions involved in water management, and to water related industries.

Download or read book Effects of Dam Removal on Fish Communities and Habitat in the Sandusky River, Ohio written by Taylor E. Sasak and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018, the Ballville Dam was removed from the Sandusky River, Ohio. The removal of the dam was expected to reconnect areas of upstream habitat, restore fish passage, and improve the fish community. To assess the quantity and quality of available walleye spawning habitat post-dam removal, a habitat suitability index (HSI) model was developed. Model results indicated that there is more walleye spawning habitat upstream of the former dam. Electrofishing surveys were conducted during the spring of 2020 and 2021 (to assess migratory fish passage above the dam) and during summer 2020 (to assess the resident fish community). Walleye were captured upstream of the dam during the 2021 spawning run. Overall, walleye and white bass catch rates and spawn run strengths were lower in post-assessments compared to values seen pre-dam removal. The results of the 2020 post-assessment suggest that the quality of the resident fish community has declined across the study area since the 2009 pre-assessment. However, changes in habitat quality between assessments were less apparent. This study documents the short-term effects of dam removal on river conditions and the fish community post-dam removal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldo Leopold, father of the "land ethic," once said, "The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to begin with." The concept he expressedâ€"restorationâ€"is defined in this comprehensive new volume that examines the prospects for repairing the damage society has done to the nation's aquatic resources: lakes, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems outlines a national strategy for aquatic restoration, with practical recommendations, and features case studies of aquatic restoration activities around the country. The committee examines: Key concepts and techniques used in restoration. Common factors in successful restoration efforts. Threats to the health of the nation's aquatic ecosystems. Approaches to evaluation before, during, and after a restoration project. The emerging specialties of restoration and landscape ecology.
