The flow recommendations, and use of the operating rules, will provide flows in the San <br />Juan River that will promote the recovery of the two endangered fish species, As presently <br />configured, the flow recommendations may also allow for a significant amount of future water <br />development in the basin, <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />This report addresses the science of the development of flow recommendations for the San Juan <br />River. It does not address the impact of the recommended flows on the holders of water rights in <br />the San Juan River Basin, Legal and management factors to be considered by the U.S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Service and affected parties will determine which holders of water rights will be affected <br />b these flow recommendations.
