The District would use the funding to install two flow stage and weather stations to collect river flow and weather data along the lower Merced River, below the Crocker-Huffman Dam. Data collected at the stations will be used to accurately inform an online management system that ties hydrologic modelling, reservoir simulation modelling and river systems analyses into a real-time simulation of the Merced River watershed.
The Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and are available at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=24418.
