Adaptive Management of Glen Canyon Dam and the Colorado River Ecosystem

The Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center began long-term planning at its inception and, in May 1997, produced a Long-Term Monitoring and Research Strategic Plan that was adopted by stakeholder groups (the Adaptive Management Work Group and the Technical Work Group) later that year. The Center then requested the National Research Council’s (NRC) Water Science and Technology Board to evaluate this plan.
