Textbook Question
Chapter 40.2, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Water leaving a reservoir behind the dam is often taken from deep layers of the reservoir. Would you expect fish found in river below a dam in summer to be species that prefer colder or warmer water than fish found in an undammed river? Explain.

CASE STUDY CONNECTION California’s governor has put you in charge of water policy for the state. Aquifers beneath the state have been overpumped, and many wells have run dry. Agricultural production in the state is down, and farmers are clamoring for you to do something. Meanwhile, more water is needed for burgeoning urban populations in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. What policies would you consider to restore California’s water supply? Would you try to take steps to increase supply, decrease demand, or both? Explain why you would choose such policies.
People often propose new dams to deal with increasing concerns about severe drought, but a problem
with this approach is that
dams are ineffective in storing water
dams discourage water conservation efforts
animals can't live upstream of dams, where the water flow changes
terrestrial animals generally find dam water too salty for their use
dams restrict water flow, damage habitats, and can cause degradation of natural areas
