== '''Arizona's Colorado River Shortage Preparedness Workshop''' ==

Arizona and its water users are prepared to handle the effects of the current drought and impending potential Colorado River shortage declaration which may occur as early as 2016, although more likely in 2017. These conditions are not unexpected. Arizona has been proactively building resilience and implementing innovative water management strategies to secure dependable water supplies.

If shortage is declared in the near term, Arizona cities, towns, industries, mines and tribes using Central Arizona Project water will not see a reduction in their Colorado River supplies. On river municipalities, industrial users and agricultural water users in the Yuma area have the highest priority on the Colorado River system and will not be impacted.

A shortage declaration in the near term will eliminate CAP water supplies to the Arizona Water Banking Authority, a portion of the CAP water supply for groundwater replenishment, will impact agricultural users in central Arizona and may cause an increase in CAP water rates.

*Nevada gets 300,000 acre-feet, or about 2 percent, of the 16.5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water that is parceled out each year among seven western states and Mexico.
*"If the Las Vegas Valley went one year without using any water from Lake Mead, the impact on the reservoir would be a rise of about 3 feet."
*Lake Powell to release 7.48 million acre-feet of water in water year 2014, 750,000 acre-feet less than in any year since the reservoir on the Arizona-Utah border was created. Lake Mead, which is expected to drop almost 25 feet to a record low by November 2014.
*The Las Vegas Valley uses about '''180 billion gallons''' of water every year, enough to fill the Bellagio Fountains more than '''8,000 times'''. [http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/oct/02/doing-more-while-leading-nation-water-conservation/ Las Vegas Sun Article-LINK]

*Since 2000, the surface of Lake Mead has dropped about 130 feet amid record drought on the over-appropriated Colorado River.
*The two existing pump stations no longer will be able to draw water if the lake sinks below 1,000 feet above sea level.
*Even under worst-case projections, Lake Mead’s water level is expected to stay above 1,000 feet until 2020.

*Details: *Last week, volunteers doing restoration work on the banks of the Colorado River above Lees Ferry found an almost foot-long tiger salamander. The amphibians live on the Colorado Plateau above the river, but haven't been seen on the river's banks according to any known records. Larry Stevens, senior ecologist with the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, found the animal lazing in the shallow water of a marsh bordering the Colorado River last week. “Holy cow," Stevens remembered thinking to himself. “This is an incredibly new find for the Colorado River.”

*Details: Invitation to TWG and interested parties
NPS holds a monthly fisheries management update call. There are two purposes for these calls: 1- Provide verbal updates on our (i.e., NPS-led) fisheries management activities to stakeholders, cooperators, agencies, etc., anyone interested is welcome to call in. 2- Coordinate logistics and plans for fisheries activities among cooperators. Trip reports, annual reports, and peer-reviewed publications that the fish program produces are also distributed on a regular basis. NPS also sends these to the 11 Associated Tribes separately. If you would like to get on the mailing list, or would like more information on these calls, please contact Brian Healy at brian_healy@nps.gov<mailto:brian_healy@nps.gov> Thank you.

*Details: *Last week, volunteers doing restoration work on the banks of the Colorado River above Lees Ferry found an almost foot-long tiger salamander. The amphibians live on the Colorado Plateau above the river, but haven't been seen on the river's banks according to any known records. Larry Stevens, senior ecologist with the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, found the animal lazing in the shallow water of a marsh bordering the Colorado River last week. “Holy cow," Stevens remembered thinking to himself. “This is an incredibly new find for the Colorado River.”

The amphibians live on the Colorado Plateau above the river, but haven't been seen on the river's banks according to any known records. Larry Stevens, senior ecologist with the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, found the animal lazing in the shallow water of a marsh bordering the Colorado River last week. “Holy cow," Stevens remembered thinking to himself. “This is an incredibly new find for the Colorado River.”

*Details: *Last week, volunteers doing restoration work on the banks of the Colorado River above Lees Ferry found an almost foot-long tiger salamander. The amphibians live on the Colorado Plateau above the river, but haven't been seen on the river's banks according to any known records. Larry Stevens, senior ecologist with the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, found the animal lazing in the shallow water of a marsh bordering the Colorado River last week. “Holy cow," Stevens remembered thinking to himself. “This is an incredibly new find for the Colorado River.”

'''Description'''

The Colorado River running through Grand Canyon once hosted one of the most distinctive fish assemblages in North America. The wild Colorado River presented fish with a challenging and variable aquatic habitat: very large spring floods, near-freezing winter temperatures, warm summer temperatures, and a heavy silt load.

Note that only eight fish species were native to Grand Canyon. Of the eight species, six are endemic, meaning that they are only found in the Colorado River basin. (NPS) [[File:Additions and Remaining Native Fishes Slide 9.jpg |thumb]]

*1.Endangered
◦
Four types of fish that frequent the Colorado River and Lake Powell are officially endangered because of the construction of dams and introduction of non-native species: the razorback sucker, Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub and bonytail.
Native
◦
In addition to the above, Lake Powell is naturally home to the bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, roundtail chub and speckled dace.
◦
Non-Native Bass
◦
The National Park Service introduced three types of bass specifically for fishing purposes: the smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and striped bass.
Other Non-Natives For Fishing
◦
Other non-native species have been introduced into Lake Powell with the intent of challenging fisherman. These include walleye, rainbow trout, channel catfish, bluegill and black crappie.
Problematic Non-Native
◦
Though almost all non-natives are damaging to native ecosystems, the gizzard shad is causing many problems to the native and non-native fish populations because of its large size. The fish has spread throughout the lake and have no natural predators.

*'''NON-NATIVE FISH HISTORY''' Non-native fish species present in Grand Canyon were mostly established as a result of intentional stocking to develop sport fisheries in the Colorado River and its tributaries during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Impacts of these actions was not fully understood until later in the 20th Century when a shift to native species conservation management occurred in the NPS. Negative impacts of non-native fish and altered habitats on native fish species has been well-documented throughtout the world. '''Over 20 non-native fish species''' have been documented in GCNP; However, the more common, large-bodied, species of management concern include rainbow and brown trout, common carp, channel catfish, and bullhead species, striped and smallmouth bass. These species are known predators on native fish or native fish eggs or compete with native fish species.(NPS CFMP-EA_Pg 62) (17 warmwater species, 2 coldwater species, and 1 coolwater species)--- At least '''7''' additional species occur in nearby or adjoining waters with potential access to the Glen Canyon Ecosystem.
*The fish community throughout Marble Canyon, downstream of the Glen Canyon Reach is GCNP, is dominated by non-native rainbow trout. The fish community changes near the LCR inflow near RM 60 where native species begin to occur. (NPS CFMP-EA_Pg 63)

*'''POTENTIAL THREATS:'''
*Smallmouth Bass -- In early 2000, smallmouth bass increased dramatically in abundance in the Yampa River and Upper Colorado River. Just over a decade later, the species cannot be brought under control.
*"Prior to Glen Canyon Dam, the Colorado River was dominated by highly predacious non-native channel catfish. Catfish are warm water fish...Regular flooding of the LCR may be keeping catfish out of the LCR and cold water in the Colrado River does not provide habitat for catfish or other warm water fish. Without Glen Canyon Dam chubs may have been extirpated from Grand Canyon, catfish would still be the dominant fish in the Colorado River and the LCR."

----
# '''Research Flows (RF)''' : Flows involving violent diurnal changes in water releases from Glen Canyon Dam, which largely prevented natural reproduction of rainbow trout but apparently did not cause low recruitments of downstream native fishes. (Like in the 1980's)
# '''Modified Low Fluctuating Flows (MLFF)''' : aimed at reducing durnal variation in flows so as to reduce sand export rates, improve flow conditions for recreational boating, and provide more hospitable flow conditions for both juvenile rainbow trout and native fishes.
# '''Beach Habitat Building Flows (BHBF)''' : flows aimed at moving sand from the river channel and eddy environments to beach habitats. (maximum powerplant capacity plus full bypass have been called BHBFs)
# '''[[Low Summer Steady Flows (LSSF)]] : Flows aaimed at improving survival of juvenile native fishes in the mainstem, particularly through warming of backwater and nearshore environments of the CR mainstem (2000)
# '''Fall Steady Flows''' : flows in a fall period (September- October) thought to be critical for juvenile survival of humpback chub.
# '''Seasonally Adjusted Steady Flows (SASF) : Flows aimed at eliminating negative effects of diurnal flow variation on aquatic biota and providing a more natural seasonal hydrograph pattern.
# '''Load Following Flows (LFF)''' : Flows that fluctuate to respond to hydropower loads. (1980's) ecological and recreational rafting concerns.
# '''Fish Supression Flows ''' : Rapid downramping of flows in summer, possibly preceded by periods of high steady flows, aimed at increasing stranding and mortality of juvenile rainbow trout in the Lees Ferry reach.
# '''Summer Stranding Flows:''' A stranding flow would maintain elevated flows (e.g., 15,000 cfs) for 2 or 3 days, followed by a very sharp drop in flows to a minimum level (i.e., 7,000 cfs). A stranding flow would be considered in the period of June, July, or August.
# '''Ponding Flows:''' Ponding flows are those relatively high flows that produce slackwater areas in tributary mouths for the benefit of humpback chub. [Source: ''Assessment of the Estimated Effects of Four Experimental Options on Resources Below Glen Canyon Dam- USGS_061027''

== '''Arizona's Colorado River Shortage Preparedness Workshop''' ==

Arizona and its water users are prepared to handle the effects of the current drought and impending potential Colorado River shortage declaration which may occur as early as 2016, although more likely in 2017. These conditions are not unexpected. Arizona has been proactively building resilience and implementing innovative water management strategies to secure dependable water supplies.

If shortage is declared in the near term, Arizona cities, towns, industries, mines and tribes using Central Arizona Project water will not see a reduction in their Colorado River supplies. On river municipalities, industrial users and agricultural water users in the Yuma area have the highest priority on the Colorado River system and will not be impacted.

A shortage declaration in the near term will eliminate CAP water supplies to the Arizona Water Banking Authority, a portion of the CAP water supply for groundwater replenishment, will impact agricultural users in central Arizona and may cause an increase in CAP water rates.

'''HYDROPOWER''' [http://www.gcmrc.gov/research_areas/power_production/power_production_default.aspx GCMRC definition link] Power production is included under GCMRC Science activities because minimizing impacts to power production is one of the goals of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, therefore systematic monitoring and focused research is needed to determine how changes in dam operations to meet various environmental objectives may affect the availability and value of hydropower. Glen Dam is a 710-foot-high concrete arch dam, and the second highest dam in the United States. The powerplant at Glen Canyon Dam is made up of eight hydroelectric generation stations. The combined generation capability of all eight turbines is 1,320.0 megawatts. Glen Canyon Dam is a peaking power facility designed to rapidly change output levels in response to changes in demand for electricity. Although Glen Canyon Dam meets only a very small portion of the total energy demand in the western United States, it plays an important and valuable role in the region in terms of being able to respond rapidly to changing power demands throughout the western electrical grid.

The hydropower resource at Glen Canyon Dam is monitored intensively by the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), the entity that markets Glen Canyon Dam power to rural power distributors in the western United States. Tracking power generation, power market rates, necessary power purchases, and power revenue provides a mechanism for understanding how changes in Glen Canyon Dam operations affect energy generation and the energy market. In the near future, GCMRC intends to provide links through this web site to hourly data on energy generation, Basin Fund balances, monthly energy purchases, and other data routinely compiled by WAPA. In addition, GCMRC works with WAPA economists and energy system modelers to provide retrospective and predictive evaluations of the economic implications to hydropower from changing dam operations to meet environmental objectives of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program.

'''State of the hydropower market'''

*There are '''2,198 active U.S. hydropower facilities, representing 79.64 GW of capacity''', by far the biggest of the renewables, according to DOE’s just-released "2014 Hydropower Market Report." Most of the capacity is in large projects built between 1930 and 1970.
*DOE’s 2014 Hydropower Market Report
*Federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Tennessee Valley Authority, own nearly half of the capacity at very large dams. Publicly owned utilities, state agencies, and electric cooperatives own another 24% of capacity. The rest, mostly small sites, is privately owned.
*Half of U.S. capacity is in Washington, California, and Oregon. At least 84% of the facilities do double service in recreation, flood control, irrigation, navigation, and/or water supply.
*Production varies year to year and seasonally but 2013’s capacity factor was 39%, 2012’s was 40%, and 2011’s was 46%. The long term trend is toward a decreasing capacity factor due to the aging of facilities, the impact of environmental regulations, and reallocation of water.
*On the other hand, hydropower’s average availability factor is 5% to 10% higher in the summer when electricity demand is higher. And 39 GW of U.S. capacity is rated as highly flexible.

This is the Quagga Mussle Information Page-
----
Quagga mussels continue to be a major problem in the Colorado River. Since being discovered in Lake Mead in the Lower Colorado River in early 2007, the quagga mussels have spread rapidly in the watershed. Young mussels float in the water column and get carried by the water currents downstream, while adults attach themselves to the bottoms of boats and can be transported miles away. Quagga mussels, natives of Europe and Asia discovered in the Great Lakes region in the late 1980s, can grow to about 1.5 inches and are clogging water lines that are used to cool the 17 massive hydropower turbines at Hoover Dam. They have caused similar problems at the downstream Davis Dam in Lake Mohave and Parker Dam in Lake Havasu, both of which provide electricity for thousands of people in Arizona and California. Reclamation, which operates the Hoover, Davis and Parker dams, has employed divers with high-pressure water hoses to blow mussels out of pipelines and filter gates. But those treatments are expensive, and the results are only temporary.
"Mussels have the potential to disrupt water delivery and hydropower generation functions and to create long-term economic impacts...,"

== '''What are the Currently Effective Control Methods Used for Mussels?''' ==

''Methods of Control'':[http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p950.pdf]
<span style="font-size:85%>Oxygen Deprivation | Temperature Treatments | Exposure and Dessication| Ultraviolet Radiation | Manual Scraping | High-pressure Jetting | Mechanical Filtration | Passive and Barrier Filtration | Removable Substrates | Chemicals ('''Chlorine''') or Molluscicides | Ozone | '''Antifouling Coatings''' | Electric Currents| Sonic Vibration | Natural Predators or Biological Controls| Bacteria ('''Pseudomonas Fluorescens''')</span>

=='''Quagga Mussel Information''' ==
''Zebra VS Quaggas:''
*Quaggas are the dominant species of the two and will displace Zebras.
*Quaggas tolerate colder temperatures, and are more abundant at greater depths, reproduce at lower temperatures, and are more likely to grow in single layers and produce more patchy distributions.
*Unlike Zebras, Quaggas don't necessarily need hard substates to attach and grow. They can grow on the soft, silty bottom sediments.

*[[Media:Memorandum of Agreement Min 319 Final Signed.PDF| '''Agreement''']] signed in November 2012
*This Minute (or agreement) is under the framework of the 1944 treaty between the U.S. and the Republic of Mexico on the Colorado River (the same treaty also addresses the Rio Grande and the Tijuana Rivers).
*Minute 319 details operational, water sharing and environmental agreements between the U.S. and Mexico on the Colorado River for a 5-year period.
*The agreement was the product of intensive discussions between the two countries, the seven Colorado basin states and stakeholders in Mexico over the last several years.
*For the 5-year period, Mexico will be allowed to temporarily defer delivery of water -- giving Mexico greater flexibility over water deliveries (and leaving more water in storage in Colorado River reservoirs in the interim).
*Mexico has agreed to accept the values (Lake Mead elevations) that determine reductions in water delivery; the minute also establishes surplus water agreements during this 5-year period at specified high reservoir conditions at Lake Mead.
*The minute also establishes a partnership between the U.S. and Mexico, and non-governmental organizations that will provide opportunities for bi-national funding of projects (including projects to repair earthquake damage) and for the first time ever, dedicated environmental flows to the Colorado River Delta.

*Details: *Last week, volunteers doing restoration work on the banks of the Colorado River above Lees Ferry found an almost foot-long tiger salamander. The amphibians live on the Colorado Plateau above the river, but haven't been seen on the river's banks according to any known records. Larry Stevens, senior ecologist with the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, found the animal lazing in the shallow water of a marsh bordering the Colorado River last week. “Holy cow," Stevens remembered thinking to himself. “This is an incredibly new find for the Colorado River.”
