Recently, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service required changes (reasonable and prudent alternatives, or RPAs) in water operations and related actions to avoid jeopardizing the continued existence and potential for recovery of threatened species of fish. Those changes have reduced the amount of water available for other uses, and the tensions that resulted have been exacerbated by recent dry years. The complexity of the problem of the decline of the listed species and the difficulty of identifying viable solutions have led to disagreements, including concerns that some of the actions in the RPAs might be ineffective and might cause harm and economic disruptions to water users, and that some of the actions specified in the RPAs to help one or more of the listed species might harm others. In addition, some have suggested that the agencies might be able to meet their legal obligation to protect species with less economic disruptions to other water users. The National Research Council examines the issue in the present volume to conclude that most of the actions proposed by two federal agencies to protect endangered and threatened fish species through water diversions in the California Bay-Delta are 'scientifically justified'. But less well-supported by scientific analyses is the basis for the specific environmental triggers that would indicate when to reduce the water diversions required by the actions."--Publisher's description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Fishes|xEffect of water levels on|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85048753|zCalifornia|zSacramento- San Joaquin Estuary.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh91001365-781 650 0 Rare fishes|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh89003521|zCalifornia|zSacramento-San Joaquin Estuary. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91001365-781 650 0 Estuarine ecology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85045034|zCalifornia|zSacramento-San Joaquin Estuary. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91001365-781 650 7 Fishes|xEffect of water levels on.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/926456 650 7 Rare fishes.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1090165 650 7 Estuarine ecology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 915685 651 0 Sacramento-San Joaquin Estuary (Calif.)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91001365 651 7 California|zSacramento-San Joaquin Estuary.|2fast|0https:/ /id.worldcat.org/fast/1258303 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bCommittee on Sustainable Water and Environmental Management in the California Bay-Delta.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2010130410 776 08 |iPrint version:|tScientific assessment of alternatives for reducing water management effects on threatened and endangered fishes in California's bay-delta.|dWashington, D.C. : National Academies Press, ©2010|z9780309128025 |w(OCoLC)612335780 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=334325|zOnline eBook.
