These were (1) the Tennant method, (2) a modification of the Tennant method, (3) IFG1 A, a single cross-section average-parameter method, (4) the Incremental method, using the WSP hydraulic simulation program, and (5) the Incremental method, using the IFG4 hydraulic simulation program.
Each method was applied following standard published procedures, and instream flow recommendations were developed for the streams addressed using each method separately. Evaluation of the methods showed that the modification of the Tennant method overcame some of the deficiencies of the Tennant …
