• Objectives
• Show the role of hydrology and elements of
  storage and releases on watershed management in
  the basin
• Identify the competing and complimentary
  institutional function in managing the basin
• Show the relationship between restoration risks
  and response to climate (specifically hydrology)

• Observations
• A problem with water allocation in the basin
• Over allocation is not a water right
• Over withdrawals not monitored
• Allocation decision do not consider normal
  hydrological variations
• On and off allocations, especially in drought
  year, reduces the confidence of all stakeholders
  in the success of consensus watershed management

36

• A problem with the structural projects that have
  basin wide impact
• Stream side fencing/wetland restoration
• Wetland treatments systems for tailwaters
• Reuse/irrigation techniques to optimize water use
• Many small restoration project on focus /no
  vision/no strategy

37

• A problem with the science
• Data collection duplication/data sharing/critical
  data not collected
• Limited to short term studies not to adaptive
  management monitoring
• Institutional imperatives protective of
  information/no sharing/integrating
