Decades of climate-driven drought, and a consistent imbalance between supply and demand for Colorado River water have led to low reservoir levels in the Colorado River Basin. Low water levels have implications to rivers located both upstream and downstream of the reservoirs, including the introduction of invasive fish. We modeled the probability that smallmouth bass would establish and what we could do to mitigate that threat. Intermountain Park Science, 2024

For nearly a century, managers have been striving to balance water use needs and ecosystem health. Learn how dams and managed flow variability have affected riparian corridors in Canyonlands National Park.
