Ecological Flows
The North Carolina General Assembly enacted
legislation in 2010 directing the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
to develop hydrologic models for each river basin in N.C. An important part of this
bill
requires the department to determine the flows needed to maintain ecological integrity
in surface waters. The bill further authorized the creation of a Science
Advisory Board to assist the department in assessing these ecological flows.
The members
and alternates of the board all have a strong background in aquatic ecology and
represent a diversity of water use interests. The board has a charter
that will help guide them through this process.
Meetings of the Ecological Flows Science Advisory Board are open to the public.
