Colorado and Lavaca Rivers and Matagorda and Lavaca Bays Basin and Bay Area Expert Science Team: Members and Meetings
Colorado and Lavaca Rivers BBASC and BBEST Home page
Science teams develop environmental flow analyses and a recommended environmental flow regime to support a sound ecological environment for their river basin and bay system. The science teams must consider all reasonably available science, without regard for other water use needs, and make recommendations based solely on the best science available.
