Abstract
Georgia has been operating under an interim instream flow protection policy since May 2001. This paper explores other federal and state statutes and regulations that implicate stream flow along with selected court cases. Finally, the paper examines stream flow policies in other Southeastern states as examples of the directions that Georgia could take if it updates its stream flow policy in the process of creating a comprehensive statewide water management plan.
