Review of literature related to the downstream ecological effects of hydroelectric power generation / by R. J. Steele and K. E. Smokorowski.Fs97-6/2334E

Cover image

Instream Flow methodologies (e.g. historic flow, hydraulic, and habitat-based methods) in use in North America, New Zealand and Europe are summarized. Existing literature related to population level effects of hydro generation on aquatic biota (fish and invertebrates), fish microhabitat use, fish migration, and egg/embryo development is reviewed. Finally, a number of mitigative actions currently employed to lessen the effects of hydro generation on aquatic biota and habitat are reviewed and evaluated.--Abstract
