Instream Flow Link: Riverine Science

Link from Riverine Science at the Fort Collins Science Center, paragraph 3:

“Similarly, developing tools and information to support water management decisions has been and continues to be an important activity at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center (FORT). In the 1970s, the Instream Flow Group began working in on decision processes, field techniques, and physical habitat simulation models to help managers incorporate environmental effects into their flow management decisions.”
