LNWB Ch01 Public Processes

The Lower Nooksack Water Budget provides an estimate of the water cycle components in the Lower Nooksack Subbasin’s 16 drainages, as they vary seasonally throughout the year. It is intended to provide a common body of factual information to support water resource professionals and their salmon recovery partners working with the WRIA 1 Joint Board on water supply planning and instream flow negotiations. This overview introduces and summarizes the Lower Nooksack Water Budget, full technical report, which can be accessed at the Water Resource Inventory Area 1 (WRIA 1) Watershed Management website document library (http://wria1project.whatcomcounty.org/Home/Water-Budget/97.aspx).

The work was produced in three stages, for three audiences: technical work, usability testing and public accessibility, with the review audience widening with each stage.

Stage 1 - WRIA 1 Joint Board Watershed Management Team and related Technical Teams reviewed and commented on technical products (data inputs, outputs, and model analysis).

Stage 2 - WRIA 1 Joint Board Management Team, Water Resource and Salmon Recovery Staff Teams and respective constituents provided feedback on the usability of the technical work.

Stage 3 - The draft final report, public overview and work products were then presented to the WRIA 1 Joint Board’s policy and technical bodies, their stakeholders and public audiences in a series of 2012 presentations at public meetings; with work also posted on the WRIA 1 Project public website.

This resource is a subset of the Lower Nooksack Water Budget (LNWB) Collection Resource.

《下诺基斯克流域水资源预算》旨在为下诺基斯克子流域16个排水区的水循环成分提供年度季节性变化的估计。本数据集旨在为水资源专业人士及其与WRIA 1联合委员会合作进行鱼类恢复的合作伙伴提供一套共同的事实信息，以支持水资源规划和水流谈判。本概览介绍了并总结了《下诺基斯克流域水资源预算》的完整技术报告，该报告可通过水资源清单区域1（WRIA 1）流域管理网站文档库获取（http://wria1project.whatcomcounty.org/Home/Water-Budget/97.aspx）。

该研究分为三个阶段，针对三个不同的受众群体：技术工作、可用性测试及公众可访问性，每个阶段的审查受众群体都在扩大。

第一阶段：WRIA 1联合委员会流域管理团队及相关技术团队对技术产品（数据输入、输出和模型分析）进行了审查和评论。

第二阶段：WRIA 1联合委员会管理团队、水资源和鱼类恢复工作人员团队及其相关人员对技术工作的可用性提供了反馈。

第三阶段：随后，最终草案报告、公众概览和工作成果被提交给WRIA 1联合委员会的政策和技术机构、相关利益相关者和公众，这些内容在2012年的一系列公共会议上展出；同时，相关研究内容也发布在WRIA 1项目公共网站上。
