Abstract
Now, by implementing a new strategy that calls for repeated releases of large volumes of water from the dam, the U.S. Department of the Interior seeks to increase the size and number of these sandbars. Three years into the “High Flow Experiment” protocol, the releases appear to be achieving the desired effect. Many sandbars have increased in size following each controlled flood and the cumulative results of the first three releases suggests that sandbar declines may be reversed if controlled floods can be implemented frequently enough.
