Development of a network-based information infrastructure to facilitate hydrosystems and fisheries planning in the Columbia-Snake River Basin

摘要

This report describes the development of an information-exchange system on the World Wide Web to aid balancing Columbia-Snake River Basin hydropower operations and passage optimization for endangered anadromous salmonids. During the 1995 fish migration season, a working prototype of the service is being evaluated with input and guidance from the Federal fisheries agencies. Lessons learned will be used to enhance the service's value and implement suggested changes for full-scale implementation during 1996 and ensuing years. Illustrations of the system's World Wide Web pages, and documentation of the service's fundamental concepts and methods, are included in the report.
