A consistent finding from surveys and discussions with
white-water boaters and anglers is that the adverse
effects of undesirable dam releases can be reduced by
early, reliable communication of the planned dam
release schedule to the river users. This helps
anglers and particularly white-water boaters to plan
their trip itineraries to reduce problems with flows.

CamDina beaches. Artificial protection of camping
beaches, construction of protective revetments
(concrete or stone riverbank facings) or jetties at
critical locations, or resupply of sand into the river
are all actions which could be undertaken to protect or
rebuild sand deposits. The acceptability of such
structural measures to managing agencies and river
users is likely to be very low, and the feasibility,
costs, and possible impacts of such measures have not
been evaluated.
