Instead of NYC being required to increase flows during a low water period to meet the requirements of flow on the Delaware, the FEW water would be used to supplement the Cannonsville / Pepacton releases.
Correct Afish... but is the montague target going away?
Here is a summary of the Montague agreement >

I assume that flow would have to be maintained, but the FEW would be in a position to help the NYC reservoirs supplement the flow needed to keep the salt line above the water intakes below in NJ & Philadelphia.
Answer this, if the use of the FEW project is purely about PA recreation and flood control as you stated, why did NYC allocate a million dollars for the study to be done?
