CHARLOTTE The Southwest Florida Water Management District manages and protects water resources in west-central Florida, one of Florida’s fastest-growing regions. Central to this mission is balancing current and future demand for water while safeguarding the natural systems that supply this vital resource. Population in the 16-county region is expected to swell to 5.4 million by 2020, more than doubling the number of people living here in 1980, requiring investment in new water sources and greater water conservation.

The natural flow regime of the contributing river is considered to be the baseline for assessing the effects of withdrawals. Development of the percent-of-flow approach has emphasized the interaction of freshwater inflow with the overlap of stationary and dynamic habitat components in tidal river zones of larger estuarine systems. Since the responses of key estuarine characteristics (e.g., isohaline locations, residence times) to freshwater inflow are frequently nonlinear, the approach is designed to prevent impacts to estuarine resources during sensitive low-inflow periods and to allow water supplies to become gradually more available as inflows increase.
