This charge directed the BBASC to review the Colorado and Lavaca Bay and Basin Expert Science Team (CL-BBEST) recommendation for environmental flows and to weigh the environmental need for water with the need for water for other purposes, including human needs, and to make recommendations on �environmental flow standards� and strategies for the Bay-Basin complex. Water evolving in these two river basins satisfies the thirst of Texans and flora and fauna alike from the Texas Hill Country to the coastal plains and prairie of the Gulf of Mexico, ultimately feeding one of the most prolific and profitable bay and estuary systems along the entire Gulf Coast. This being said, it is my pleasure to inform you that the BBASC recommendations included in this report are consensus recommendations. This report reflects significant efforts of all BBASC members to seek solutions that addressed their highest concerns, while also finding ways to understand and address the important concerns of the other members, in the true spirit of consensus. It is our expectation that as we now transition to the rules making process, the consensus decisions reported herein are carried forward.EnglishTechnical Report
