Meta Identifier	Flows_HardyII
Type of Data	Flow data and projected flow needs based on Klamath River flow, fish and fluvial data
Originator	Dr. Thomas Hardy
Description	Hardy Phase I (1999) based flow recommendations on the basis of historical flows before and after dams, but Hardy Phase II had the benefit of additional field data collected along the mainstem Klamath River for nearly a decade by USFWS, CDFG, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and others. This added data on fish, substrate, habitat types, depth, velocity and other factors so that Phase II recommendations have a much broader and less theoretical basis. The Phase II study relied on state-of-the-art field data collection methodologies and modeling of physical habitat for target species and life stages of anadromous fish.
Area	Klamath River, iron Gate to the Trinity River

Purpose	Evaluation of Interim Instream Flow Needs in the Klamath River
Data Quality Information	High
Use Constraints	None except that keeping Hardy Phase II in draft has kept courts from considering it in making Klamath flow determinations which are currently under litigation.
