Workshop Coordinators:
Amy Campbell, The Nature Conservancy,
David Dralle, Research Hydrologist, Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station

This workshop will delve into the science and tools available to inform the practicality of whether a flow enhancement project will deliver on long term flow objectives given hydrogeomorphic properties and other underlying watershed conditions that contribute to inadequate summer flows, and will include discussions around other key factors to consider when designing projects such as water budgets, water rights, permitting, infrastructure retrofits, long-term maintenance, and the complexity around designing projects to provide security to both human and nature in a changing and unpredictable climate.
