The Public Trust Doctrine

“The Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) and its Application for Protecting Instream Flows” video series

These videos (PTD 101-104) are a product of the 2nd “National Instream Flow Program Assessment (NIFPA) Project Workshop” held March 5th & 6th 1996 at Denver, Colorado.  The NIFPA Project lead to the formation of the Instream Flow Council (IFC).  These PTD presentations relate to IFC core values (https://www.instreamflowcouncil.org/about/) and collectively serve as a PTD historical background reference.
