<br />Assessing Flow Needs: Quantification <br />Approach and Methods (cont.) <br /> <br />. Quantification for specific needs and reaches (e.g., rafting, sport <br /> <br />fisheries, endangered fish) <br /> <br />Strengths: <br />- Can be tailored to specific site goals and conditions <br />- For some attributes (especially non-native trout), habitat needs are <br />well understood <br />- Many quantification techniques available <br /> <br />Weaknesses <br /> <br />- Typically requires reach specific data, which may not be available <br />- Resource intensive, especially if being applied across many <br />streams <br />- Several methods focus only on minimum flows <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br />1) Use ELOHA to develop identify key flow parameters and associated benchmaTks for all major <br />stream types where data are available <br />2) At reaches where more detail is desired to achieve specific goals, use a habitat or hydraulic- <br />based approach <br /> <br />33 <br /> <br /> <br />17 <br />
