Flows and Recreation: A guide to studies for river professionals

Whittaker D, Shelby B, Gangemi J. 2005. Flows and Recreation: A guide to studies for river professionals. Hydropower Reform Coalition. Washington, DC

This guide is intended to facilitate decision-making to define flows for recreation on regulated rivers. It provides a framework and methodologies for assessing flows for recreational use. This welcome addition to the Hydropower Reform Coalition’s Citizen Toolkit for Effective Participation in Hydropower Licensing (available at www.hydroreform.org/toolkit.asp) should help all participants, such as license applicants, agencies, Tribes, and citizens, satisfy the new licensing regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Ideally, it will be used to enhance the quality of study requests and plans, as well as the implementation of studies and resolution of disputes. The authors are recognized experts and have been involved in numerous flow studies for hydropower licensing and other water resources decisions.
