Science and values in river restoration in the Grand Canyon
Schmidt JC, Webb RH, Valdez RA, Marzolf GR, Stevens LE. 1998. Science and values in river restoration in the Grand Canyon. BioScience. 48(9):735-747
"In this article, we examine the appropriate role of science in determining whether or not to restore or rehabilitate the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon by summarizing studies carried out by numerous agencies, universities, and consulting firms since 1983. This reach of the Colorado extends 425 km between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead reservoir. Efforts to manipulate ecosystem processes and components in the Grand Canyon have received widespread public attention, such as the 1996 controlled flood released from Glen Canyon Dam and the proposal to drain Lake Powell reservoir."
