The meeting and field trip provided a unique opportunity for scientists with the SFPUC, McBain & Trush, the NPS, and others working on developing new environmental flow recommendations for O'Shaughnessy Dam under the UTREP project to obtain critical input on methods and results that have been used to quantify the magnitude, duration, frequency, and timing of flows needed to support amphibians (particularly foothill yellow-legged frog) in the Tuolumne River downstream of O'Shaughnessy Dam.
Input gained from the meeting will be incorporated into our current studies and will be reflected in the final draft flow recommendations report due in the first half of this year.
