Description:Water is a fundamental resource in freshwater ecosystems, and stream flow plays a pivotal role in driving riverine ecology and biodiversity. Ecologically functional flows, managed hydrographs that are meant to reproduce the primary components of the natural hydrograph, are touted as a potential way for-ward to restore ecological functions of highly modi fied rivers, while also balancing human water needs. A major challenge in implementing functional flows will be establishing the shape of the managed hydro- graph so as to optimize improvements to the ecosystem given the limited resources. Identifying the shape of the flow–biology relationship is thus critical for determining the environmental consequences of flow regulation. In California ’s Central Valley, studies have found that increased stream flow can improve sur-
