Stream Channel Response to Flow Alteration
Abstract
One aspect of instream flow regimes now being actively debated is the need for
channel maintenance or flushing flows. However, little quantitative information
exists as to how different types of channels, particularly higher elevation,
mountain stream systems, respond to changes in the flow regime resulting from water
development activities. Our study is attempting to begin to answer some of these
questions. This paper discusses part of that study and addresses the effect flow
diversion has had on higher elevation stream systems located In Wyoming and
Colorado.
