Virgin River

American Whitewater needs your help to define flows that support the full range of whitewater boating opportunities for the Virgin River in Arizona. This survey is designed so individuals can evaluate flows for each targeted whitewater run, which will then help American Whitewater describe how flows affect recreation quality, and to identify the range of flows necessary to support whitewater recreation experiences, from technical low water to challenging high water trips. The information you provide, will help us protect and enhance flows for river-based recreational opportunities.

Your honest participation in this study will help American Whitewater inform future management of the Virgin River, and build support for healthy river flows threatened by drought, development, and management policies.

PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE STREAMGAGE AT WHICH FLOWS ARE REPRESENTED. CERTAIN GAGES MAY NOT BE THE GAGE YOU HAVE USED TO CHECK FLOWS FOR EACH SEGMENT IN THE PAST.

Please encourage your fellow paddlers to participate in this study. The more responses we get, the more robust our findings will be.
