Instream flows: new tools to quantify water quality conditions for returning adult Chinook salmon

Published in Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management

This paper examines the effect of implementing a water transaction program to address potential water quality limitations for returning adult fall-run Chinook salmon in a stream system where the agriculture is the dominant land and water use. Water transactions are becoming an increasingly used approach to provide instream flows during periods when...
