Potential of Modified Flow-Release Rules for Kingsley Dam in Meeting Crane Habitat Requirements, Platte River, Nebraska
The Whooping Crane, an endangered species, uses the Platte River downstream from Overton, Nebraska in its migratory route. Maintenance of favorable habitat conditions required by law may mean restrictions on development and management of Colorado's entitled water in the South Platte River. The project investigated meeting crane habitat flow requirements by alternative plans for flow releases through Kingsley Dam (North Platte River) and Narrows Dam (a proposed project on the South Platte River). The analysis is based on mean monthly flow of the past 39 years. Irrigation releases were held firm, hydroelectric power production was maximized and flows available to meet habitat requirements were determined. A simulation model was developed to model the operation of the North Platte and South Platte Rivers.
