The Delta Science Program, CDFW Watershed Restoration Grants Branch, and the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program will jointly host: Three Brown Bag Seminars Discussing Flow Targets and Ecology.

Seminar 1: Functional-Flows and Flow Targets - Sarah Yarnell, Ph.D.

Monday, July 10, 2017

Noon -1pm Park Tower Plaza - 2nd Floor Conference Center - 980 Ninth Street - Sacramento, CA 95814

Establishing environmental flow targets to protect aquatic communities is a priority for numerous programs in California including in the Delta. Dr. Yarnell will discuss her recent work using a functional-flows approach to develop statewide environmental flow recommendations.
