After <br />the lasl19 months, the tolal area oflow zone habitat is 34.8% less than the pre-flood, March 1996 <br />level. Higher than normal flows (20,000 to 27,000 cfs [566 to 764 m3ts]) during the summer <br />combined with a series of flash floods from the Paria River (25.7 Ian downstream of Glen Canyon <br />Dam) have prevented habitat restoration in the low vegetation patches (below 30,000 cfs [849 <br />m3ts] stage). <br /> <br />. <br />;:; <br />, <br />., <br /> <br />Table 2.
