Florida Statutes require that MFLs, water levels and flows designed to prevent significant harm to water resources, be established for water bodies. The Suwannee River Water Management District has gathered technical data and information to develop the MFLs for the Waccasassa River and its springs.

MFLs are used in the water supply planning process and for determining water availability for consumptive use purposes. In addition, MFLs will provide guidance in making water use and permitting decisions; ensure sufficient water resources for the public and ecosystems; protect wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat; and provide protection of water resources for navigation and recreation.
