American Whitewater worked with Duke Energy and many other groups to coordinate a controlled whitewater flow study in October of 2004. This study layed the foundation for flow restoration negotiations. Over one weekend we paddled several different flows on both channels, filling out surveys and having focus group discussions following each run and at the very end. It was a safe, fun, and informative weekend!
