Detailed Description
Impact to aquatic and riparian resources along the Yampa River as a function of flow volume extracted per day in four hydrologic seasons. All flow diversions have an impact, but impacts of diversions are greater during summer base flow and less during early spring runoff than in other seasons. Figure from Diehl and Friedman (2024).
