Abstract
A bottom fauna study of the Upper Kennebec River, Maine, showed
a loss of species diversity and abundance of swift-water aquatic
insects below a 43 foot head dam. (Trotzky and Gregory, 1974).
This dam was used for peak power demand and caused flows ranging
from 170 m3/sec. to 8.5 m3/sec. Prior to 1964 the dam was operated
on run of the river mode.
