RFP - Growing Water รณ Improving the Ability of the Great Lakes Basin to Support Future Water Needs |
The team will develop, test and apply a suite of watershed assessment tools to identify high-value restoration opportunities that reverse ecological impairments associated with altered hydrology. The team hopes to discover unrecognized restoration opportunities and potential resource improvements in the Basin. In select watersheds, the team will test the ability of several protocols to predict and track the consequences of the restoration work including the index of hydrologic alteration, Instream Flow Council protocols, and ecological flow prescription protocols. Building on work at these sites, the team will create a set of methods to value and compare different restoration opportunities. Ultimately, the team expects to generate a "water base unit" metric to measure ecological improvements. |
