Specific management goals can be attained using different
protocols. The "best"
technique for attaining a particular goal will
depend heavily upon the structure
of the impoundment(s) in question,
upon physical and geographical factors,
and upon management strategies
in the surrounding areas.
Below we list some likely combinations
of
management goals
and strategies.
