Quagga and Zebra MusselsQuagga and zebra mussels are now impacting Reclamation and other water facilities in the western United States like this penstock gate at Davis Dam on the lower Colorado River. Read more about what Reclamation is doing to combat these invasive mussels. Reclamation is conducting several research projects to montior, control, and detect quagga and zebra mussels in western water bodies. See a listing of the various research projects. Boaters and Recreationists should use extra caution when moving their boats and other recreation equipment between reservoirs, whether they are infected or not. Please make sure you clean, drain, and dry once you take out from one body of water and put-in at another body of water. |
