Compliance Summary

The Cedar River Instream Flow Management Program, as specified by the Instream Flow Agreement for the Cedar River (Agreement), includes provisions for a guaranteed mean daily flow regime. This regime includes guaranteed minimum levels below which stream flows shall not allowed to drop and supplemental flows that are expected to be provided according to specific frequency targets described in the Agreement. The table and graphs below summarize compliance with minimum flow specifications and supplemental flow targets from 2000 through 2011.
