SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The State Water Resources Control Board is set to receive an update on Tuesday about the science behind minimum baseline flows for the Scott and Shasta rivers.
The meeting will be held at the CalEPA Headquarters located in Sacramento.
Officials say the Division of Water Rights staff will present information to board members as part of the board’s directive to analyze baseline minimum in-stream flows. This effort aims to support threatened fish populations in these watersheds.
The staff will cover the development of the scientific basis for these flow requirements, evaluate the economic impacts on fishing and agriculture, and discuss ongoing data collection efforts.
They will also share updates on watershed conditions and recent legislation affecting future actions.
