cbec Ecohydrologists Michael Founds and Luke Tillmann recently presented at the May Lunch-MAR meeting hosted by the California Department of Water Resources. This was a great opportunity to share recent updates of the implementation of EcoFIP on the San Joaquin River, in partnership with Jacobs. In this pilot study led by the DWR Flood-MAR program, a systematic approach is applied to identify floodplain enhancement opportunities and collaboratively design restoration projects that provide high-quality salmonid habitat and enhance naturally occurring floodplain recharge. The study demonstrated a scalable approach to align programmatic support needed to increase the pace and scale at which multi-benefit floodplain projects can be conceptualized, evaluated, and advanced towards implementation.
