• The southeastern Mediterranean ecosystem revisited: Thirty years after the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
• Size and height of the Aswan High Dam, nearly 600 miles upstream from Cairo, compared to the Old Aswan Dam.
• During the past one hundred years, the Levantine Basin has been subjected to the effects of two important events, the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the construction of the Aswan High Dam in 1964. ... Since 1965 when the High Dam became fully operational, the Nile flow to the Mediterranean has greatly diminished, while the effects of dangerous floods in 1964 and 1973 and threatening droughts in 1972-73 and 1983-84 were mitigated.
• Before the High Dam was built, fifty percent of the Nile flow drained into the Mediterranean. ...
• Although the construction of the High Dam has been an unquestionably tremendous boon to Egyptian agriculture and has benefited industry by providing cheap electric power, it has also had far-reaching effects on the transport of fertile silt and sediments. These sediments are now trapped behind the dam, a situation which has led to severe erosion along the Egyptian coast. The dam also had great impact on the fertility of the coastal waters. ...
• The decrease in fertility of the southeastern Mediterranean waters caused by the High Dam has had a catastrophic effect on marine fisheries. ...
• We do know that sardines, which once migrated into the Nile Delta region to feed on the fall phytoplankton blooms, apparently altered their migration pattern after construction of the High Dam.
• Since the late 1980s, the total fish catch (pelagic and bottom) off the Egyptian coast has grown to levels comparable to those that existed before construction of the dam. ...
• Winter blooms are supported by the input of "new" nutrients caused by the convective turnover of the water, and are much smaller and shorter than fall blooms in the pre-dam years. ... In recent years the near filling of Lake Nasser, the Nile reservoir behind the dam with a storage capacity of two years of Nile water, has led to increased discharge from these lakes, resulting in localized nutrient enrichment and enhanced primary production.
• Although it has been thirty years since the construction of the High Dam, it seems that there has not been enough time for the ecosystem of the Levantine Basin to reach a new level of ecological equilibrium. ...

•   HOME > FISHING > EMBREY DAM REMOVAL.
• On Monday, February 23, 2004, a 100-foot section of the Embrey Dam on the Rappahannock River was breached.
• Please select your connection speed to view video of the Embrey Dam breaching (will launch in a new window):.
•   Breaching the dam will reopen 106 miles of historical spawning habitat on the Rappahannock and its tributaries to a number of species including American shad, blueback herring, alewife, hickory shad, and striped bass.
• Brief history of Embrey Dam.
• Embrey Dam, 22 feet high, was constructed in 1910, replacing a crib dam dating back to 1853.   Until recently, the dam provided water to a Virginia Electric Power Company power station as well as supplied drinking water for the city of Fredericksburg by way of a historic navigational canal.   With the dam in place, the Rappahannock River is impassible above Fredericksburg to anadromous fishes during their annual voyage from the Chesapeake Bay, causing many miles of potential spawning habitat to be lost.
• Why is removal of the dam important?.
•   The total number of pounds of American shad caught in the James, Rappahannock, and York Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay declined sharply from 8 million pounds in 1900 to a mere 5,000 pounds in 1990, due in part to loss of spawning habitat caused by dam construction.
• Breaching Embrey Dam will reopen 71 miles of the mainstem Rappahannock River and 35 miles of the Rapidan River, a major tributary, for a total of 106 miles of historically known spawning and rearing habitat for migratory shad and herring. ...
•   About 24,000 angler visits totaling nearly 100,000 hours of fishing pressure are accommodated annually above Fredericksburg and Embrey Dam.
• In 1999, Bosher's Dam on the James River in Richmond was equipped with a vertical slot fishway. ...
