Based on that review, DNRC is approving and adopting the final report on water leasing. In addition, DNRC supports the four recommendations that were included in the report by DFWP. Those recommendations and DNRC's rationale are described below. 1) DNRC supports making the water leasing statute permanent. After 10 years of study, DFWP has proven its ability to implement instream flow leases that benefit both parties to the lease and the local fisheries without impacting other water users. 2) DNRC supports increasing the 20-stream limit to an unlimited number of stream reaches. As long as there are individuals willing to lease their water rights for instream flow to benefit fisheries resources, without adversely affecting existing water users, DFWP should be able to establish as many leases as necessary to protect fisheries and especially fish species that are or could be listed under the Endangered Spe
