Video Update: Aquatic Ecological Flows Research by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Jun 21, 2016 10:22 AM: This presentation from Dr. Todd Walter of Cornell University provides an update to the Steering Committee on this Appalachian LCC funded research project. The Aquatic Ecological Flows project is providing a report assessing availability of hydrologic and ecological flow model(s) suitable for the region, an assessment of available ecological data to inform the ecological flow model(s), the application of the model(s) to anticipate how changes in stream flow will affect environmental conditions, and a report that forecasts changes in hydrology and associated biological responses to critical watersheds from different water resource development scenarios.
