adaptive-management process in which the flow and temperature recommendations are
implemented, evaluated, and revised based on information from scientific studies (Figure 1).
Information feedback into the revision process occurs both at the project level, in which
individual projects are revised to address information needs identified from information
syntheses, and at the flow recommendation level, in which response of fish populations guides
the revision process.
