Water Availability and Sustainability -this information is needed to assess the viability <br />and effectiveness of the water project or activity. Please provide a description of each <br />water supply source to be utilized for, or the water body to be affected by, the water <br />activity. For water supply sources being utilized, describe its location, yield, extent of <br />development, and water right status. For water bodies being affected, describe its <br />location, extent of development, and the expected effect of the water activity on the <br />water body, in either case, the analysis should take into consideration a reasonable <br />range of hydrologic variation. <br />• The location on the river and the specific reach of the river proposed for riparian <br />restoration is shown on the attached segmented map (See Appendix B). <br />• This project does not specifically deal with, change, or affect any water rights or <br />their allocation. The Project is going to enhance the function of the river to stabilize <br />the banks and stabilize the flows, reducing the range of hazard variables and <br />increasing the ability of the river to transport sediments under all flow regimes: <br />o Improve water quality by reducing sediment load <br />o Increase the ability of the river to transport sediment <br />o Reduce changes in river characteristics such as flow patterns <br />o Enhance the ability to pass Rio Grande Compact flows when needed <br />• The water supply source is the Rio Grande. The water body to be affected by the <br />water activity is the Rio Grande.
