California Wildlife Agency Pushes Functional Flows for Healthy Rivers

Original: CDFW News | Functional Flows: Working with Nature's Rhythm to Keep California's Rivers Healthy

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is highlighting 'functional flows' as an approach to river management that works with natural water rhythms rather than against them. The agency says timing the volume, duration and seasonal patterns of flows to mimic natural cycles can restore habitats, support native fish and wildlife, and improve river health across California, where dams and diversions have long disrupted ecosystems.

Why now: The state agency has just published the piece amid ongoing concern over drought, water allocation and ecosystem decline in California's rivers.
