I am working on Phase 2 of the NPS WQ Metadata portal http://www.gcrc.uga.edu/wqmeta/ , expanding our already solid list of programs and agencies to include any in the SALCC geographic region with high quality WQ data programs in the SE, coastal and inland as well ( esp. watersheds linking to coastal NPS sites) . If you know of any to add, or suggestions of who may know, please contact me asap. Thanks ! Christine 828-989-2950 or claporte@uga.edu

Comment by Mary Davis on March 29, 2011 at 12:59pm: Hi River Friends,

I have a draft report that I would like to discuss with the members of this group on the status of hydrologic modeling in the SALCC. I developed it on behalf of SARP for the SALCC to help determine whether there is sufficient information to assess flow alterations under the ELOHA framework. Your comments would be helpful in completing the recommendations for the SALCC to develop a hydrologic foundation. The discussion would also help guide work to improve water resource management in the SALCC and the broader SARP region.

I will host this discussion via WebEx on April 14 at 10:00 AM Eastern. Please let me know if you would be interested in participating. Whether you participate or not, I would appreciate any comments you have on the report via this website.

The draft report can be accessed at the following link:

SALCC%20Hydrologic%20Model%20Assessment.docx

Thank you and I look forward to our discussion.

Mary Davis
