| Description | The Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) is regarded as the best available method for determining the relationship between stream flows and fish habitat. It is one of the most commonly used stream flow study methods in Washington State. IFIM and other study methods are an essential part of determining instream flow levels. Washington State law requires that instream resources and values, including fish (see sidebar), are protected and preserved with adequate instream flows. Setting flow levels in rule is one of our most important management tools for protecting streams. The intent is to set instream flows throughout the state. |
