1. PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE COMPLETING THE SURVEY

This survey is designed to collect data on whitewater recreation on the Feather River during the 2006/2007 boating season.

We will be using information from this survey to help us identify a flow preference curve for whitewater boating, that will identify minimum, acceptable, and optimum flows. This information will be used to determine flows for the 2007 releases. If you have an interest in learning more about the methods we will be using see the National Park Service page for Flows and Recreation: A Guide to Studies for River Professionals.

The purpose of our survey is to collect information from boaters following runs that take place this boating season. Please complete this survey after each of your runs on the Feather this year.

Please let others know about this survey. If you have friends who run the Feather River this year, please refer them to this webpage. The more responses we get the more useful our results will be. Results of this survey will be published in a report for the benefit of paddlers with an interest in recreational opportunities on this river.
