<br />42 STEVEN E. REED AND JAMES S. MEAD <br /> <br />quently, staff resources from agencies will be high, <br />even if much of the work is conducted by a private <br />consulting firm. <br />The availability of several methodologies for <br />evaluating and recommending instream flows pro- <br />vides a multitiered approach to solving in stream <br />flow problems. Each higher method offers a more <br />refined recommendation but requires more invest- <br />ment oftime and resources by the agency. The level <br />at which the return no longer justifies the effort will <br />differ for each in stream flow situation. Agencies in <br /> <br />North Carolina try to select the approach that most <br />effectively addresses a particular case. If the situa- <br />tion changes, there is nothing to preclude advanc- <br />ing to a more complex technique. <br /> <br />Information Source <br /> <br />Reed, S. E., and J. S. Mead. 1988.
