This report investigates the role of instream flows as part of a program to protect and recover certain water-dependent endangered species. For the purposes of this report, instream flows are defined as non-consumptive, in-channel flows of water. We examined two case studies of endangered fish species programs that included instream flows, one on the upper Colorado River and one on the San Juan River. Cost savings with cooperative recovery programs are calculated. Scenarios involving increased instream flows are evaluated to estimate what the cost savings might be to water developers from additional instream flow appropriations and acquisitions by the Colorado Water Conservation Board., John Loomis and Jeff Ballweber., "November 15, 2010.", "Funding for this study was provided by the Colorado Water Conservation Board and Environmental Defense Fund.", Bibliography: pages 29-32., Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page, viewed September 2015.

Adapted to thrive on Colorado's Eastern Plains, in mountain valleys and along riparian areas throughout the state, cottonwoods represent the largest native broadleaf trees in the state, and the most pervasive deciduous trees found at lower elevations. Colorado cottonwoods can grow to more than 80 feet in height, flourishing in wetter soils near rivers, lakes, irrigation ditches and other lowland areas. Managing these natives can help ensure numerous benefits that include wildlife habitat, recreation, stream bank stabilization and stormwater uptake., Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed May 2021).

The year following Hurricane Katrina, Congress passed the Pet Evacuation and Transportation and Safety (PETS) Act. The Act required state and local jurisdictions to have a plan in place for the evacuation and sheltering of household pets and service animals in order to receive Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement. The PETS Act codified the lessons learned during Hurricane Katrina that saving pets in times of disaster also saves people. Implementation of the PETS Act at the local level has proven that human lives are saved and 99% of pets can be successfully reunited with their owners post-disaster. This is only accomplished when pet planning is included as part of the overall emergency operations planning., L.
