Abstract

The Tennessee Legislature, at the request of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), created a new state law entitled the "Inter-basin Water Transfer Act." The act was designed to regulate water volumes withdrawn from one basin and transferred to another basin for consumption and disposal. It only affected new transfers or increases in existing transfers. The rule became effective Oct. 1, 2000.
