Map areas of historically large-scale snow deposition in mountains.
Develop a Watershed Protection Plan that considers the impact of climate change on headwater flow and water temperature.
Monitor areas where snowpack is expected to decline due to climate change.
Identify fish passage technologies (e.g., design of fish friendly culverts, bottomless arches and bridge) that support and encourage fish populations.
Install snow fences to maximize snow deposition and retention in areas where snowfall is projected to decline due to climate...
Fund fish passage technologies that support and encourage fish populations.
Improve ATV and vehicular crossings for sensitive streambed areas to support wildlife and limit erosion (i.e. bridges instead of culverts).
Plan pulse flows from regulated streams during extreme heat events.
Identify areas that experience water loss due to water diversions (including ditches).
Implement projects that address water loss at points of water diversion (including ditches).
Coordinate with tribal departments and regional partners to anticipate new proposals for development of water infrastructure (i.e. additional diversions or...
