Water Management and Conservation
In-Stream Flow Enhancement
This planning project, a partnership with MCRCD, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and Trout Unlimited (TU), developed strategies and a scientific basis for improving flows in the lower Navarro River watershed. Through a gauging network, comprehensive review of planning documents, scientific anaylsis and GIS, projects were vetted by a robust technical advisory group (TAG). The partnership identified projects utilizing the following strategies:
Storage and Forbearance; Community Water Management (CWM); Groundwater Infiltration, and Large Wood Augmentation. The gauging network was expanded and projects were developed under each strategy. A Phase 2 proposal was submitted to WCB and funded in 2018.
