Streams with 400 cfs (Mean annual flow)



Description

The river corridor layer is a subset of the digital information contained in the 1:100,000 U.S. Geological Survey Hydrography Digital Line Graph Data for the State of Georgia. The file contains the digital stream reach representations that are impacted by the Georgia State Law that defines "the protection of river corridors" (HB No. 643, see reference 1).

Georgia State Law (Section 12-2-8, as amended, of Article 1, Chapter 2, Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia, Annotated) defines protected river corridors as 100 foot strips of land that flank major river reaches with a mean annual flow of 400 cubic feet per second or greater. These include the lakes that fall in these stream reaches.

Please note that while the digital representations of the stream reaches that meet the criteria of having a mean annual flow of 400 cfs or greater are contained in this file, the digital representations of the 100 foot strips, described in the law, are not contained in this file.
