Project goals: Complete the CEFF process leading to comprehensive flow recommendations for the LA River. Attain full support of the recommendations from key agencies and stakeholders.

Project Benefit    


Environmental flow recommendations will support steelhead migration in the LA River and Arroyo Seco watersheds.
