The Pulsed Flow Program, established in 2002, is funded by the Public Interest Energy Research Program of the California Energy Commission and administered by the University of California’s Center for Aquatic Biology and Aquaculture.  The program’s objective is to address the ecological effects of manufactured or augmented flows from hydropower facilities on aquatic resources within California.   Since 2003, nine research projects had been awarded funding and most of the projects are now completed.  The Pulsed Flow Program Management Team believes that this conference is one means of disseminating the results of the funded research projects to all interested parties.
