| Resource Purpose |
The main questions addressed in this report are: (1) what is winter?, (2) what do fish do in winter? (3) how does habitat change in winter? (4) what effect does water withdrawl have on winter habitat?; The information used to answer these questions is then used to explore impact pathways associated iwth winter flow reductions on fish and fish habitat. |
