Conservation Challenge by Jean Brennan, last updated: Jul 18, 2016 09:43 AM: Water withdrawals from human activities can alter surface water resources and impact aquatic habitats and organisms. The most commonly studied sources of flow alterations are typically dams and water withdrawals associated with agricultural operations and industrial uses. However, the emergence of hydraulic fracturing has led to the rapid expansion of natural gas drilling and has made it a key source in altering surface water resources in the Marcellus Shale region.

Environmental Flows from Water Withdrawals in the Marcellus Shale Region by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jul 13, 2016 11:04 AM: The Appalachian LCC collaborated with Cornell University to study the environmental impacts of water withdrawals in the Central Appalachian region. The rivers and streams of the Central Appalachians are home to more than 200 species of fish and other aquatic life. They also provide a reliable source of drinking water, recreational opportunities and associated economic benefits to people living in large cities and surrounding communities. This research looks at how the region’s surface freshwater supply – and the health of natural systems delivering this resource – have been impacted and may be altered in the coming years under increasing water withdrawals. It focuses on the Marcellus Shale region in the Central Appalachians, including portions of NY, PA, OH, MD, WV and VA.

Data Access by Jean Brennan, last updated: Jun 21, 2016 10:22 AM: Phase I of this project involved an inventory of flow models and the underlying, or potential, data sources from instream monitoring networks.

Key Findings & Management Recommendations by Jean Brennan, last updated: Jun 21, 2016 10:22 AM: The Appalachian LCC-funded study is the first region-wide assessment to document “flow-ecology” relationships – showing connections between observed impacts under current water withdrawal standards (based on daily water gauge data collected over the last 15 years and fish surveys) and the decline in freshwater fish communities.
