Dams: Water usage and 4 mile creek

This topic submitted by Amanda Swisher ( swishear@muohio.edu ) on 1/23/03. [ Rivers Team: Amanda Swisher-Section: Cummins/Kaufman]

I would like to look at why there is a dam on 4 mile creek. What purpose does it serve? How does this effect the surrounding people and their lifestyles? How does this effect the surrounding wildlife? I'm really interested in pursuing research in the area of water rights and laws that pertain to the damming of rivers and creeks. For example, I find the whole debacle over the how the Colorado River gets divided up fascinating, especially as it pertains to agriculture and consumption in California.
