Flat Creek is a tributary to the upper Flint River located in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. Project partners, including American Rivers, are working to identify changes to reservoir management that have historically restricted river flows during critical dry periods of the year. The final project will ensure that future dam release operations will continue to meet community needs while sustaining healthy streamflow conditions, stream and floodplain habitat and species of concern during critical low flow periods.

San Saba River Flow Restoration
The San Saba River Water Agreement project focuses on Environmental Water Transactions (EWTs), as an important conservation tool for restoring and maintaining flow in Texas rivers. Water transaction efforts in the San Saba river have primarily focused on the reduction of agricultural water use during the irrigation season under low and critical low-flow conditions, mitigating water scarcity and creating essential aquatic habitat when it’s needed most.
