Used primarily in New England, the Aquatic Base Flow method uses historic flow data to determine the median flow for the lowest flow month (typically August or September), and applies that level to the remainder of the year ... This approach assumes that a specific flow rate per unit of watershed area will provide an adequate minimum flow. It is simple to use, if historic data is available, but cannot account easily for site-specific biological concerns; nor can the method adequately and defensibly adjust for spawning or incubation.  3, record 1, English, - aquatic%20base%20flow%20method
