Low-Flow Regulation As A Means Of Improving Stream Fishing
Studies by the U. S. Study Commission, Southeast River Basins, and cooperating agencies have disclosed that utilization of many streams in the study area is curtailed in part by excessively low stages and sometimes by excessively high stages during the fishing season. The U. S. Study Commission has considered the regulation of low flows by controlled discharge from upstream storage reservoirs as one means of improving such streams for fishing. Concepts and methods employed in the determination of flow-storage relationships, flow-fishery relationships, storage required to regulate flows...
