Did you know?
• An impoundment is something that will permanently or temporarily change the water level or flow of a river.
• This could be something like a weir or a bridge. Have you ever noticed how water is held back behind a weir or looks like it’s not flowing under a bridge?
• Impoundments result in large sediment deposits as the river loses its energy. This impacts the river habitat downstream as it will not get as many nutrients.
• Impoundments can cause flooding, as water is not able to get though quickly causing it all to back up.
• Impoundments, such as weirs, can also impact fish migration. If the sructure is too big, fish will not be able to get past it, stopping them from reaching their spawning site
