The Flow Survival Relationship and Flow Augmentation Policy in the Columbia River Basin
Flow augmentation and flow targets have been central programs in Columbia River salmon management for more than twenty years. Over this time, water requests have 1995a; NMFS 2000a). Over the same period, the body of science on the effects of flow grew from a single graph between smolt survival and Snake River flow, to a body of information involving the tagging of a million smolts with survival...
متن کاملAn analysis of smolt survival with implications to flow management
Smolt survival through the Columbia/Snake river hydrosystem and tributaries of the Snake River are evaluated with the XT-model, which describes predator-prey interactions in terms of migration distance and time, temperature, turbidity, and a random encounter velocity between predators and prey. In this formulation, smolt survival depends on both distance traveled and exposure time, and the impo...
متن کاملWater exploitation of Karoon River for fish culturing through monitoring and simulation systems
Heavy metal pollution dispersion simulation in rivers and predicting spatial and temporal variations of pollutants can be used to determine the precise place and to schedule water withdrawal time for drinking, agriculture, aquaculture and ecosystem studies. To study the movement of heavy metal pollution through Karoon flow model, MIKE 11 was employed fpr simulation of the flow model of Karoon R...
متن کاملForecasting flow discharge through time series analysis using SARIMA model for drought conditions, a case study of Jamishan River
Nowadays, water supply is more limited and providing water is more difficult due to increasing population and demand for water. Thus, due to rainfall shortage and impacts of drought, the need for forecasting monthly and annual rainfall and flow discharge through time series analysis is acutely felt. One of the key assumption in time series is their static condition. However, hydrological time s...
