Smith <br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <br />Water Resources Division <br />Post Office Box 25486, DFC <br />Denver, Colorado 80225-0486 <br />(303) 236-5322 <br /> <br />Name: <br />Organization: <br /> <br />Address: <br /> <br />[v. Study Schedule <br /> <br />Initial year: <br />Final year: <br /> <br />198B <br />Ongoing <br /> <br />V, Relationship to RIPRAP: The work is in support of many of the flow and <br />habitat restoration activities contained in the RIPRAP, <br /> <br />VI, Study Goals, Objectives, and End Products <br /> <br />To provide hydrological support for the many and varied activities of <br />the Recovery Implementation Program, To provide accurate hydrology and <br />temperature data to researchers, principal investigators, and Program <br />Committees in support of RlPRAP activities. <br /> <br />V[[, How is this study contributing to recovery? Are the goals being met? <br /> <br />The work provided is, for the most part, in support of other research <br />projects or activities such as water rights acquisition, flow <br />quantification, and habitat restoration which have a direct impact on <br />the recovery of the Colorado River endangered fish, Quantification of <br />the success of the initial activities is difficult because most of the <br />activities are long-term in nature, For example, the temperature data <br />being collected is most useful when a period of record is established <br />for trend analysis, <br /> <br />V[ [I. <br /> <br />FY-93 Tasks and Deliverables <br /> <br />A, Temperature Data Collection and Analysis <br /> <br />The Division of Water Resources (DWR) in coordination with the CRFP <br />office in Grand Junction and Vernal will systematically gather water <br />temperature data to support the water temperature model and other <br />research projects. Thermographs will be installed at six locations <br /> <br />1 <br />
