Minimum Flows and Levels MFL polygons

The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) which includes all or part of 18 counties in northeast Florida, maintains a District-wide effort to develop minimum flows and levels for the protection of water bodies, water courses, associated wetlands, and aquifers from significant harm caused by water withdrawal or diversion. The minimum flows and levels (MFL) program goal is to establish minimum flows and levels for prioritized ground and surface water resources and water dependent ecosystems and to assure water for non-consumptive uses. Minimum lake levels have been established for 123 (November 2011) of the 1386 systems in the MFL lake database.
