Is it possible to improve the downstream ecosystem with the Glen Canyon Dam still in place?
This is what the Adaptive Management Program is intended to accomplish. Glen Canyon Dam provides vitally important water and power generation benefits to society so the goal of the Adaptive Management Program is to determine how the dam can be re-operated to protect and improve the many natural and cultural resouces downstream. This is a long-term process that requires gaining the most accurate scientific information to make managment decisions.
