The Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) program was created under a secretarial order to develop regional conservation partnerships – under the Department of the Interior – that aimed to coordinate regional conservation planning in response to climate change impacts. Because they were partner-driven efforts, each of the 22 LCCs followed a distinct trajectory and implemented diverse projects, meaning that there is value in exploring how specific LCCs, such as the AppLCC, approached regional conservation. This study assesses the successes, limitations, and impacts of the AppLCC, with the aim of providing insights for future regional conservation partnership.

This study clarifies how additional water demands in the region may adversely affect freshwater biological integrity. The results make clear that policies to limit or prevent water withdrawals from smaller streams can reduce the risk of ecosystem impairment. 2016 Scientific Reports associated with the AppLCC-funded research to Cornell.

The Appalachian LCC-funded study is the first region-wide assessment to document “flow-ecology” relationships – showing connections between observed impacts under current water withdrawal standards (based on daily water gauge data collected over the last 15 years and fish surveys) and the decline in freshwater fish communities.

Water withdrawals from human activities can alter surface water resources and impact aquatic habitats and organisms. The most commonly studied sources of flow alterations are typically dams and water withdrawals associated with agricultural operations and industrial uses. However, the emergence of hydraulic fracturing has led to the rapid expansion of natural gas drilling and has made it a key source in altering surface water resources in the Marcellus Shale region.
