species of fish from 19 unique families were present in the system. Following dam construction, only 18 species from 8 families were collected, with two families accounting for over 90% of the fish found. 30 years after the installment of the impoundment, 28 species of fish were sampled from 8 families, however 98% of the fish were either

Generally measured and reported as the average water depth downstream of a hydraulic structure, tailwater can vary based on the outlet from the structure as well as downstream influences that may restrict or advance the usual flow of water from the structure. The creation of a tailwater will have significant impacts on both the

Nutrients from the lake upstream are released into the tailwater, creating a productive environment in which target fish species, usually trout, can thrive. An example of this phenomenon is the fishery at

Tailwaters are also subject to changes in traditional flow rate. Some impoundments discharge a consistent amount of water which can disrupt seasonal fluctuations and extreme flow events. On the other hand, hydropeaking, the cyclical increase in discharge below a hydroelectric dam to meet power
