Title Potential for Managed Aquifer Recharge to Enhance Fish Habitat in a Regulated River
Creator Van Kirk, Robert W. Contor, Bryce A. Morrisett, Christina N. Null, Sarah E. Loibman, Ashly S.
Description Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is typically used to enhance the agricultural water supply but may also be promising to maintain summer streamflows and temperatures for cold-water fish. An existing aquifer model, water temperature data, and analysis of water administration were used to assess potential benefits of MAR to cold-water fisheries in Idaho’s Snake River.
