Tier 3. Conclusions

You should now have an estimate of the mean flow and flow variability for scheme. It is possible that a number of estimates of these are now available and through assessing each of the estimates, with respect to the uncertainties associated with each methodology, a reliable estimate of the resource availability should now be available.

This may be used within the subsequent assessment to improve both an assessment of the feasibility of the scheme, and to fine tune the design of the scheme to ensure that the scheme is developed to be efficient and cost effective.
