A CHARACTERIZATION OF HARMONIC FOLIATIONS BY THE VOLUME PRESERVING PROPERTY OF THE NORMAL GEODESIC FLOW HOBUM KIM Received 22 July 2001 We prove that a Riemannian foliation with the flat normal connection on a Riemannian manifold is harmonic if and only if the geodesic flow on the normal bundle preserves the Riemannian volume form of the canonical
