Streamflow Enhancement Toolkit
In 2019, Ventura River Watershed partners & collaborators came together to create a framework to enhance stream flow, defined by the Wildlife Conservation Board as “a change in the amount, timing, and/or quality of water flowing down a stream, or a portion of a stream, to benefit fish & wildlife.”
This framework & toolkit ‘catalog’ was created as an overview of actions which under current conditions may enhance stream flow through water quality or water quantity improvements. The implementation of the programmatic & physical tools listed in this document have multiple benefits for the Ventura River Watershed, contributing to enhanced stream flows & restored river habitats.
