Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Columbia River is one of the greatest natural resources in the western United States. The river and its tributaries touch the lives of nearly every resident of the Pacific Northwest-from fostering world-famous Pacific salmon to supplying clean natural fuel for 50 to 65 percent of the region's electrical generation. Since early in the 20th century, public and private agencies have labored to capture the benefits of this dynamic river. Today, dozens of major water resource projects throughout the region are fed by the waters of the Columbia Basin river system. Through cooperative efforts, floods that periodically threaten development near the river can be controlled. This publication presents a detailed explanation of the planning and operation of the multiple-use dams and reservoirs of the Columbia River system. It describes the river system, those who operate and use it, the agreements and policies that guide system operations, and annual planning for multiple-use operation. A glossary and a reference list can be found at the end of this document. The Inside Story was originally written for the participants in a multiyear environmental study of river operations called the Columbia River System Operation Review (SOR). The SOR was conducted jointly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). In 1995, as a result of actions under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the SOR, the three Federal agencies formally adopted an operating strategy for the river system that supports the recovery of Columbia River Basin fish listed under the ESA. The strategy incorporated the recommendations of the National marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to recover several stocks of Snake River salmon and the Kootenai River white sturgeon. The SOR provided the environmental analysis of the ESA strategy and led to renewal of the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA) and other agreements related to the Columbia River Treaty (Treaty) between the United States and Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flows of the Columbia River, although modified substantially during the twentieth century, still vary considerably between seasons and between years. Lowest flows tend to occur during summer months when demand for irrigation water is at its highest and when water temperatures are greatest. These periods of low flows, high demand, and high temperature are critical periods for juvenile salmon migrating downstream through the Columbia River hydropower system. Although impacts on salmon of any individual water withdrawal may be small, the cumulative effects of numerous withdrawals will affect Columbia River flows and would pose increased risks to salmon survival. The body of scientific knowledge explaining salmon migratory behavior and physiology is substantial, but imperfect, and decision makers should acknowledge this and be willing to take action in the face of uncertainties. In order to provide a more comprehensive water permitting process, the State of Washington, Canada, other basin states, and tribal groups should establish a basin-wide forum to consider future water withdrawal application permits. If the State of Washington issues additional permits for water withdrawals from the Columbia River, those permits should contain provisions that allow withdrawals to be curtailed during critical high-demand periods.
