Abstract / Description
Understanding a water body’s hydrology and how it can influence its characteristics is critical to making
meaningful management decisions. This study summarizes the available literature and provides recommendations
for a path forward to better understanding the hydrology of Farmington Bay. A synthesis of available information
describing the water balance is provided, along with a detailed summary of areas contributing surface water
inflow and management practices that affect the sources, timing, and quantity of its delivery. Recommendations
are made for augmenting ongoing monitoring programs and future research in the areas of flow monitoring,
management practices, and developing a comprehensive water balance for Farmington Bay.
