Northern River Basins Study Final Report 3.0 Major Findings 3.1 Introduction The following sections summarize the major findings and critical management issues identified by the NRBS research components in their final synthesis reports. To appreciate the full breadth of scientific efforts that precede this summary, readers are strongly encouraged to read the relevant synthesis and technical reports cited at the end of each section. As part of their synthesis reports, each component leader was asked to list technical recommendations that may be of interest to scientists, research managers and academics. A summary of science-related recommendations appear in Section 7.7 of this report. Those recommendations dealing with sociological and policy matters comprise the NRBS Study Board recommendations and are found in Section 4.0 of this report. As described earlier in this report, the Northern River Basins Study was created to fill gaps in understanding of the developmental impacts on the basins environment. Accordingly, the following sections may include information generated by previous or concurrent investigations to provide a contextual setting for understanding NRBS findings. A number of abbreviations are used in the following sections. For your convenience, a summary of abbreviations is provided at the end of the report.
