Completed Projects: Determination of Minimum Instream Flow for Recreational Use
PIs: Havens, Hershner, Berquist
Funding Agency: inhouse
Period: ongoing
Amount: n/a
Recreational canoeists established a network of gages in the 1970s that reflect stream levels on Virginia's rivers. This network of gauges depicts at what level canoeing would become impracticable. As such, this is a potential measure of minimal instream flow requirements for recreational boating. This project uses the established network of gauges and GPS technology to tie them to elevation benchmarks in order to relate the depicted stream levels to USGS stream gauge data.
