An approach to the management of groundwater resources to protect and enhance fish habitat / by R. Blackport, R. MacGregor, and J. Imhof.: Fs97-4/2284E-PDF

"Groundwater is important to fish habitat for a number of reasons, such as, creating baseflows, generating opportunities for reproduction, and moderating stream temperatures. When developments such as groundwater extraction, aggregate extraction, urban and rural developments are proposed, due consideration must be given to protect and maintain groundwater resources in order to protect and maintain fish habitat and fisheries. This report, through examples of geological/hydrological scenarios, discusses potential development impacts on groundwater resources. A general framework and logic tree are presented as well as groundwater resources assessment techniques, as related to fish habitat. The intention of this report is to stimulate a 'thought process' for the protection of fish habitat through groundwater management"--Abstract, page vii.
