Water Quantity* |
Medium
flow stress; therefore, work with those communities in sub-basins experiencing
flow stress to plan for future water supply and habitat protection needs.
These are current conditions which are expected to degrade to "high
flow stress" by 2020. |

*
Medium flow stress means that the net 7Q10 outflow from the sub-basin equals
or exceeds the estimated natural 7Q10. 7Q10 is the lowest consecutive 7
day streamflow that is likely to occur in a ten year period in a particular
river segment. * High stress means
that the net average August outflow from the sub-basin equals or exceeds
the estimated natural August average flow. |
