To achieve this goal, specific objectives are:
(1) to develop improved methods for assessing and predicting instream flow
requirements for fish, wildlife, other aquatic organisms, recreation, and
aesthetics (Methodologies);
(2) to _Apri improve guidelines for implementing instream flow recommendations
(Strategies).
(3) to establish an effective communication network for disseminating
instream flow information (Information Management System).
In order to meet these objectives the Instream Flow Group has several moles,
Each member of the Group plays a part in each of these. This means that in
every aspect of the Group's activities a well coordinated multidisciplinary.
approach is employed. These roles are summarized below:
Advising: Provide advice and recommendations to FWS Ecological Services
field offices, States, and other Federal personnel regarding appropriate
methods ; analyse data and review reports, environmental impact state-
ments, and other relevant documents; assist in the design phase and
analysis phase of instream flow programs.
Synthesizing: Pull together the results of relevant basic research to.
continually improve methodologies and 'institutional. solutions. Based on
sound theory, conceptualize, design and test needed methodologies.
