  • Army Corps shares update on Francis E. Walter Dam water release schedule

    The U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Philadelphia District updated the 2025 Francis E. Walter Dam recreation plan. The Army Corps updated the plan, which states whitewater and fisheries releases will be scheduled if enough water storage is accumulated in the reservoir. Currently, there is enough water storage to schedule the first four increments of the plan.

  • Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Monitoring for Process-Based Model Development

    Purpose: Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) habitat conservation and restoration are necessary actions to counteract the loss of these critical habitats and their associated ecosystem services, such as habitat provisioning and water quality improvements. Process-based numerical models are essential for planning effective and enduring SAV management strategies but require robust datasets to realistically represent processes at high spatial and temporal resolutions. This technical note (TN), developed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center–Environmental Laboratory (ERDC-EL), describes an SAV data collection framework that is being applied at freshwater pond mesocosms to better capture intra-annual SAV growth and mortality processes needed to parameterize process-based models.

  • Lower Mississippi River Resource Assessment: Library of Aquatic Habitat Models

    Abstract: Six ecosystem models were developed to evaluate restoration measures for the Lower Mississippi River Resource Assessment that considered connectivity between river and floodplain, substrate quality in riverine habitats, and targeted species of special interest including Paddlefish and wetland fish assemblages. A total of 85 restoration measures in the Hatchie to Loosahatchie reach were identified by the Project Delivery Team that had different modeling requirements. Field data collected by the Engineer Research and Development Center–Environmental Laboratory in the Lower Mississippi River and floodplain identified ecological guilds of fish and aquatic invertebrates representative of different fluvial habitats. Regression and frequency bar chart models developed from this database predicts a biotic response as a function of habitat quality. Six models applicable to either riverine (unidirectional flow) or floodplain (bidirectional flow) environments were used to evaluate measures for enhancing benthic substrates, reestablishing woody debris, and formation of eddies to diversify habitat. Outputs were normalized as a Habitat Suitability Index on a 0–1 scale and a spreadsheet developed to calculate and annualize Habitat Units for selected restoration measures. Models were certified by US Army Corps of Engineers National Ecosystem Restoration Planning Center of Expertise for regional use in the Lower Mississippi River.
