Description: The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has participated in watershed-based conservation planning efforts which identify flow protection and restoration strategies as priority conservation actions to conserve native fishes in Texas. Through this initiative, the Environmental Flow Information Toolkit (EFIT) was developed to inform identification of voluntary environmental flow protection and restoration strategies areas. The EFIT is a web-based geospatial platform that provides data and information on water use, hydrologic alteration, and environmental flow targets to meet conservation objectives using a dashboard user interface. By increasing efficiencies and effectiveness of environmental flow conservation efforts, the EFIT will provide a valuable decision support tool for resource managers, water providers, and conservation organizations facing the challenge of conserving Texas’ water resources and rich natural heritage.
Funding for development of the statewide Environmental Flow Information Toolkit was provided by a State Wildlife Grant in support of the Texas Conservation Action Plan (TCAP). We appreciate the work of many TPWD staff, subcontractors (Texas Conservation Science, Inc., The Nature Conservancy, and Dr. Ryan McManamay Lab) who contributed to the development of the EFIT. We also value the contributions of end-users and stakeholders who openly shared their needs and perspectives on environmental flow management. Authorship of this project is credited to the following: David Bradsby, Kevin Mayes, Albert El-Hage, Kimberly Horndeski and Johanna Valente.
