Approach
Increase water residence time and store water on landscape
Tactics
- Restore fluvial processes
- Promote and reintroduce beavers
- Protect springs
- Thin forests to reduce evapotranspiration
- Manage the road network to reduce negative impacts on streams
- Improve grazing management to reduce negative effects on streams and water quality
- Improve efficiencies in regulated water use; conserve water
- Identify where reservoir management can improve species conservation
