OSTI ID:6152329
A workshop to recommend research needed to quantitatively integrate ecological issues in river basin level hydropower planning was held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on September 15 to 17, 1980. The 32 workshop participants identified 18 research topics that were responsive to the workshop objective. These topics were related to impacts of water level fluctuation, instream flow requirements, water quality alteration, and impacts on migratory fish. The development of these research topics and recommended research priorities are summarized in this report.
