Flow is the primary determinant of the amount and quality of fish habitat in streams and adequate stream flows are essential to sustain stream fishes. Michigan’s Water Withdrawal Assessment Program (WWAP) is charged with evaluating proposed withdrawals across the state, allowing those that do not reduce flows below levels that would harm stream fish and habitats. Recent analyses suggest that the current accounting system for water withdrawals may require refinement to understand and mitigate negative impacts to fish communities.
