The Texas Water Journal has published a new article in Volume 17, titled “Establishment of Native Vegetation Following Dredging of Torpedograss (Panicum repens) Above a Run-of-River Dam in a Central Texas Spring Run,” by Jeffrey T. Hutchinson, Scott Gardner, and Analisa Saenz.
Torpedograss (Panicum repens L.) is a highly invasive grass that is difficult to control in aquatic environments. In Central Texas, dredging was used to remove torpedograss above a run-of-river dam.
This study evaluated the success of replanting native aquatic, riparian, and terrestrial plants following the dredging of sediment accumulation to remove torpedograss above the run-of-the-river dam.

The Texas Water Journal — a peer-reviewed diamond open-access journal and 501(c)3, in cooperation with the Texas Water Resources Institute, a unit of Texas A&M AgriLife Research that brings together expertise from across the Texas A&M University System, the Bureau of Economic Geology in the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, and the Water and the Environment Research Center in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at Texas Tech University — publishes papers as they are completed.
It is devoted to the timely consideration of Texas water resources management, research and policy issues from a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates science, engineering, law, planning and other disciplines. It also provides updates on key state legislation and policy changes by Texas administrative agencies.
