Description

The goal of this project was to develop a technique to quantitatively predict the area of moist soil that would be exposed as a result of a water drawdown of any magnitude and subsequently predict the abundance of flora and fauna. The use of this technique will allow managers to model their impoundments and predict amounts of food resources with various management strategies.
