He has been assisting various roundtables, the CWCB, and CDM with implementation of the non-consumptive needs assessznent, particularly with development of approaches to priority setting and the Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool. Other relevant current projects include establishing flow guidelines for the North Fork Cache la Poudre River through a Shared Vision P1�Zning process and a statewide assessment of river ecosystems called Freshwater Measures of Conservation Success. Thomas Wilding, Ph.D. - Watershed Flow Evaluation Tool Application Thomas Wilding is a PhD student at Colorado State University, working with LeRoy Poff on the ecological effects of flow alteration. Thomas worked on the Water Flow Evaluation Tool, deriving the flow-ecology relationships. He has 10 years experience with regional government, providing scientific input for water resource plai�ulv.lg and permitting. His skills include habitat modeling (PHABSIM) and the monitoring of streams and lakes. Section 3 Budget A detailed breakdown of the estimated labor and other direct costs for the proposed project is presented below. Payment Payment will be made based on actual expenditures and invoicing by the water activity sponsor. Costs incurred prior to execution of a contract or purchase order are not subject to reimbursement.
