Increase water residence time and store water on landscape

Approach

Tactics

Restore fluvial processes.
Promote and reintroduce beavers.
Protect springs.
Thin forests to reduce evapotranspiration.
Manage the road network to reduce negative impacts on streams.
Improve grazing management to reduce negative effects on streams and water quality.
Improve efficiencies in regulated water use; conserve water.
Identify where reservoir management can improve species conservation.

Sensitivity

• Shifts in flow regimes will occur with changing climate.

Strategy

Maintain and enhance hydrologic processes
