| Abstract | Long Description |
In 2005, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) set in rule a water management program for the Entiat Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA 46) to implement local watershed planning. The recommendations in the Entiat River Basin Management Plan provided the basis for the Entiat River basin water resources management program, Chapter 173-546 of the Washington Administrative Code. • Establishing instream flow levels that protect flows for fish rearing and spawning, and existing water rights. • Establishing a reserve of water for future uses (including domestic, commercial agriculture and light industrial uses). • Setting maximum allocation limits above instream flow levels. |
