Title	Streamflow and recreation.
Creator	Shelby, Bo, 1948-
Contributor	Brown, Thomas C. (Thomas Capnor), 1945- ;<br> Taylor, Jonathan G.
Description	The relationship between streamflow and recreation quality has been studied by social scientists, physical and biological scientists, and engineers. These efforts, reviewed here, employed a wide variety of methods, yet nearly all studies found a similar, nonlinear relation of recreation to flow - quality increases with flow to a point, but decreases for further increases in flow. Critical flow levels (points of minimum, optimum, and maximum flow), of course, differ across rivers and activities. Many state laws and agency practices now provide for considering the effects of streamflow on recreation. Within this framework, knowledge of the flow-recreation relation, and its accurate calibration in specific locations, is an important ingredient in the determination of wise streamflow policies.
