Recommended adjustments in water management include: 3)  Water management rules and guidelines should be developed and operated with full regard for the current hydrologic regime and its decadal-scale cycles. 4)  Streamflow forecast models should target the March through September period and be adapted to any gradual or abrupt climate shifts that may affect the model forecast accuracy. << Prev - Next Last Updated ( Monday, 04 September 2006 )   [ Back ]
