Flow Protection is about maintaining natural stream behavior as closely as possible so the rest of the water system can function without constant correction.
When flow changes, nearly every other water topic on the site starts to change with it.
Why Flow Matters |
Natural flow supports fish movement, wetland timing, sediment transport, and water quality across multiple habitats. |
What Threatens It |
Compacted crossings, drainage changes, damaged culverts, and outside water-use patterns can all disrupt how water moves through the park. |
How Staff Respond |
The park restores crossings, tracks seasonal discharge, and coordinates with planners when infrastructure could alter natural flow. |
