Instream Flow Council Membership


Public Input	Effective instream flow programs should incorporate public input in the decision-making process.

Public Education	State and provincial instream flow programs should include specific actions to inform the public about instream flow concepts, how instream flows are administered, what benefits the programs provide, and what opportunities exist for public involvement.

Public Communication	Information intended for public consideration in instream flow decision-making processes should be straightforward, free of jargon, and provide a basic understanding of technical and legal concepts, biological processes, and trade-offs.

For the remainder of the nearly 50 policies order the book or borrow one from your local library.
