Improving ecological flow science in the mainstem Delaware through WaterSMART
Demand for freshwater is increasing with human population growth and is exacerbated by water management practices, climate variability, and land use alternation. Ecological flow science attempts to understand flows necessary to support aquatic organisms so that managers can balance these with diverse human water demands. A primary focus of the USGS Northern Appalachian Research Laboratory (NARL)...
