<br />GulG73 <br /> <br />WATER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HANDBOOK <br /> <br />32.1--1 <br /> <br />~ - Method Selection. Use one of the five analysis methods <br />described here. They differ in the level of detail they <br />require. Before choosing a method to use, determine the purpose <br />of the quantification, the resources (time, workforce, and <br />funds) available for its accomplishment, and the degree to which <br />extrapolation must be used. For example, the quantification of <br />a single channel can be accomplished using a data intensive <br />approach which may be impractical for use on the thousands of <br />acres and within the limited time frame commonly associated with <br />basin-wide water rights adjudications. <br /> <br />Also consider the nature of the channel. If a channel is <br />incapable of adjusting its bed and/or banks in response to <br />frequent flows, use method E (sec. 32.1'e). However, the <br />determination of channel adjustability must include the <br />consideration of other affected channel reaches. Method <br />selection must, therefore, be appropriate for the protection of <br />the reach potentially most susceptible to adverse impact from a <br />loss of flow. Exhibit 1 represents the process for method <br />selection. <br /> <br />*-FSH 4/89 AMEND 3-* <br />
