Instream Flows in the Sacramento River Hydrologic Region
This briefing paper demonstrates the existing instream flow requirements for the major rivers and streams in the Sacramento River hydrologic region. This includes requirements in State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) decisions, biological opinions, streamflow agreements, and other processes. New processes to develop different flow requirements should be aware of, and take into account, these existing flow requirements.
