Geomorphic Interpretation through Three Level Approach
1
Qualitative Interpretation - Summarize qualitative geomorphic information from this assessment
with investigations and relate to system -wide effectiveness, potential adverse consequences, and
Iona -term sustainability.

2
Quantitative Interpretation - Summarize quantitative analyses from investigations related to

conseauences. and Iona -term sustainability.

including various flow /management scenarios, hydrologic scenarios (including drought
assessment). and trade -offs among potential management activities to

evaluate the system -wide geomorphic effectiveness, potential adverse consequences, and long-
term geomorphic sustainability. Note: It is important to consider that the results of short-term
investigations in the initial Dortion of the first increment
(along with preceedingavailable data and information) are limited by the hydrologic conditions over
these few short years and probably do not consider the appropriate range in variability in hydrology
that must be factored into
an evaluation of long -term sustainability issues. These long -term questions can be addressed
through the modeling effort, which can incorporate a wider range of hydrologic conditions than
encountered durina the other investigations.
