Timeline

The timeline for completion of each work package task is shown in the following table. It is anticipated that data compilation, collection, and analysis tasks will be completed no later than the beginning of the fourth quarter of FY2006. Most data collection tasks will be completed prior to that time, except for the evapotranspiration task, which is planned for data collection through two growing seasons (May-June of 2005 and 2006). Report preparation will begin for many tasks by mid-fiscal year 2006 and is scheduled for completion by November 2007 (1st quarter of fiscal year 2008).
