Contract Type FiledJanuary 22nd, 2021In brief, this project (“Phase 1”) is a ‘proof of concept’ demonstration: development and use of flow duration curves (FDC) for low-order and/or headwater stream segments as an important next-generation watershed optimization management tool for qualifying and quantifying the impacts and benefits of changes in land cover from new development and/or redevelopment (nD/rD), including impacts from changes to water quality, flooding frequency and duration, channel stability, ecohydrological function, and hydrogeomorphology. FDCs will also be used to assess impacts and inform on potential management actions needed related to development activities under existing and future climate change, such as flooding risks, stream-channel stability, increased pollutant export and reduced base flows.
