Warner River Study

a map of the Warner River watershed

The Warner River was the subject of a Protected Instream Flow Study Report between 2021 and 2023. On September 25, 2023, NHDES’ Commissioner established the protected instream flow values included in the report as water quality standards, in accordance with Administrative Rule Env-Wq 1904. Release testing of dams within the Warner River watershed was conducted this summer to support the development of the Warner River Water Management Plan, which will occur over the next couple of years. 2023’s high stream flows interfered with this process and will be repeated next year during low flow periods. The public will be invited to Informational Sessions regarding this process as they occur.
