Hydrosystem Strategies, Actions, and Metrics


Hydrosystem Strategies Estuary Habitat Strategies
  • Protect estuary habitat

Estuary habitat improvements: Estuary habitat improvements are expected to benefit all listed-ESUs, but are primarily focused on improving survival of Snake River fall Chinook.
  • The Corps and BPA will protect, enhance, and restore shallow water and wetland habitats along and adjacent to the mainstem Columbia River below Bonneville Dam and tidal wetlands.

Tributary Habitat Strategies
  • Improve habitat and survival of Upper Columbia River, Snake River and Mid-Columbia River ESUs.

Tributary habitat improvements: Tributary habitat improvements are expected to improve habitat and the survival of Upper Columbia River, Snake River, and Mid-Columbia River ESUs.
  • Reclamation and/or BPA will lease, purchase, and/or conserve 12 cubic feet per second (cfs) of streamflow; resolve 5 irrigation diversion screen problems; restore 60 miles of tributary access and 4 miles of stream complexity; and protect or enhance 6 miles of riparian habitat for the Upper Columbia River spring Chinook and steelhead ESUs in the Wenatchee, Entiat, and Methow subbasins.
  • As conservation measures to improve tributary habitat:
    • BPA will improve fish habitat and implement riparian easements for Upper Columbia River steelhead in the Okanogan subbasin.
    • Reclamation will lease, purchase, and/or conserve 20 cfs of streamflow, provide technical assistance to resolve 10 irrigation diversion screen problems, and restore 54 miles of tributary access and 0.3 miles of complexity for the Snake River spring/summer Chinook and steelhead ESUs in the Lemhi Upper Salmon and Little Salmon subbasins.
  • Reclamation will participate in projects to lease, purchase, and/or conserve 7 cfs of water and also will provide technical assistance to resolve 30 irrigation diversion screen problems; restore 24 miles of tributary access; and restore 3 miles of complexity for the Mid-Columbia River steelhead ESU in the Upper John Day, Middle Fork John Day, and North Fork John Day subbasins.

Habitat Metrics
  • Report the numbers of acres protected, restored, or enhanced in the estuary from Action Agency sponsored programs.
  • Report the cubic feet per second (cfs) of water leased or purchased and/or conserved, the number of irrigation diversion screen problems resolved, the miles of tributary access or complexity restored, and the miles of riparian habitat protected or enhanced in the Wenatchee, Entiat, and Methow subbasins from Action Agency sponsored programs.
  • Report on our progress implementing conservation measures and actions.
