Subscribe to Water News Menu Newsroom About Us Core missions Careers Minimum flows and levels One way that the St. Johns River Water Management District (District) is working to protect Florida’s water resources is through its minimum flows and levels (MFLs) program. As a part of fulfilling its mission and statutory responsibilities, the district establishes MFLs for priority water bodies within its boundaries. MFLs define the limits at which further water withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology of an area. MFLs are one of many effective tools used by the district to assist in making sound water management decisions and preventing significant adverse impacts due to water withdrawals.
