measures should be investigated further since they were
not evaluated as part of this study.

(3) continued research and monitoring of critical
resources:

The need exists for additional research to fill gaps in
current knowledge of resources and how they are
affected by flows. Closely allied with this is the
need for monitoring of downstream resources to confirm
current predictions about the impact of dam operations,
to provide early warning of any deteriorating
conditions, and to identify long-term resource changes
not recognizable in a short-term study. Monitoring
activities could be integrated into National Park Ser-
vice resources management and monitoring plans and
similar programs conducted by other agencies.
