5	Protected Instream Flows (PISF)
6	Reason Why We Are Here Today The consultant will produce a draft report describing the results of the IPUOCR entities research and on-stream survey, and proposing PISF methods to be used to assess their flow needs. The draft report will be submitted to the committees for review and comment.
