Final Souhegan River protected instream flow report [PISF]

bibliography

prepared by University of New Hampshire, University of Massachusetts, Normandeau Associates, Inc

"This report describes the development of the instream flow values for each flow-dependent protected entity on the Souhegan Designated River. Protected entities are identified in statute as instream public uses, outstanding characteristics, and resources (IPUOCRs). For the ultimate development of a Water Management Plan, the first step is the identification and field verification of the protected entities on the Souhegan River. The protected entities of the Souhegan River were identified in a report titled "Instream Protected Uses, Outstanding Characteristics, and Resources of the Souhegan River and Proposed Protective Flow Measures for Flow Dependent Resources" dated September 2004. That report defined which protected entities were flow dependent and identified the methods to be used for flow needs assessments. The results of flow needs assessments were used to propose protected instream flows designed to protect and maintain the protected entities." --Executive summary, p.i
