Abstract
In 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began a cooperative investigation in the lower Apalachicola-
Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River basin to determine effects of pumpage and extreme climatic
conditions on stream reaches that are habitat to
federally protected mussel species. This study links the
results of a previous USGS ground-water flow
modeling study (Torak and McDowell, 1996) with results of recent mussel surveys presented by Brim Box and Williams (2000) and by Paula Johnson (Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center, Newton, Georgia,
written commun., 1999). Results of this study will aid
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the management
of federally protected mussel species and in assessing water-allocation alternatives developed by the States of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
