<br />( <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />l <br /> <br />Winter flows will follow the historic pattern of flows with a <br />minimum flow of about 600 cfs (daily average) measured at Bluff, <br />o <br />a Utah. <br />'.) <br />v) The spring test flows listed above are not presented as a sequence <br />~ or by priority, but, a recommendation that all the above flows be <br /><::> tested as the necessary hydrologic conditions become available. <br />Flow releases from Navajo Dam for a given year will be. set during <br />March of each year prior to spring runoff. The U.S. Bureau of <br />Reclamation will set flows after consultation with cooperating <br />researchers. Flow releases will be based on to a large degree on <br />research needs, but will be subject to projected snowpack and water <br />yield and legal and flow routing constraints. <br /> <br />DATA MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />Due to the extensive nature of the proposed research it will be <br />necessary to establish a data management system which include <br />quality control and assurance procedures and a central data base <br />for all researchers who need to access data from other ongoing <br />proj ects. <br /> <br />New Mexico Department of Fish and Game will coordinate formulation <br />of data sheets so that all necessary information is being <br />collected. Each agency will submit to NMGF their proposed data <br />collection sheets and a list of information required from the other <br />sampling programs necessary to their ongoing research. The data <br />collection sheets will be reviewed for consistency and modified as <br />necessary. For example, much of the information needed for the <br />non-native fish research will be collected in conjunction with <br />other research activities, which may require some modification or <br />expansion of the types of data being collected by the various <br />sampling efforts. In addition, NMGF in conjunction with other <br />agencies will develop a field data management protocol to ensure <br />that all necessary data is collected in the field and is properly <br />recorded. <br /> <br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region-2 (FAO) will be responsible <br />for maintaining a centralized data repository in Albuquerque, New. <br />Mexico. The USFWS will establish computer data management <br />protocols and be responsible for maintaining the central data <br />repository. The agency will coordinate with all researcher in <br />determining what types of data and its format is appropriate for <br />archiving at a central location. <br /> <br />8 <br />
