	Biological Assessment - Chapter 3
		While the survey period was brief, and certainly couldn’t include seasonal use of the river by the fauna, it is one of the few scientific biological surveys available to draw from for pre-development conditions of the river.
		Historically, the lower Colorado River represented a unique aquatic habitat, ranging from a swift-flowing, turbid river during the annual runoff period (May-July) with flows exceeding 100,000 cfs to a gentle meandering river during late fall and winter periods with flows of 5,000 cfs or less (Grinnell 1914; Carothers and Minckley 1981).
		The habit of the river of having frequent periods of falling water, even when, as in the spring, the aggregate tendency is to rise, results in the stranding of many fishes in the shallow overflows as the water seeps away or evaporates.
