| Abstract | Long Description |
This publication provides questions and answers related to instream flow incremental methodology. For example: Q: How much water does a fish need? A: That question is being asked by a number of people today--including those who want to use water to accommodate new growth, and those who fear instream flows are already too low for fish. While everyone agrees fish need water to survive, not everyone agrees how much. There are ways to answer the question scientifically. One method often used by the Washington Departments of Ecology and Fish and Wildlife is the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology, or IFIM. |
