Abstract
Proceedings of the 1997 Georgia Water Resources Conference, March 20-22, 1997, Athens, Georgia.The Savannah River basin is an important natural
resource for the States of Georgia and South Carolina, due to both
its valuable ecological and economic resources. In recent years,
agencies, organizations, and industry from both states have begun
an effort to cooperatively manage the resources of the Savannah
River basin to conserve, restore, enhance, and protect its
ecosystems in a way that allows the balancing of multiple uses.
To that end, the Savannah River Basin Watershed Project
was initiated in 1993 to begin a process for cooperative and
comprehensive management of the basin. Basin stakeholders
have been identifying and prioritizing resource issues in the basin,
and a structure has been put in place to address these issues.
Additionally, each agency and organization involved in the project
is utilizing the project structure and process to address issues
pertinent to their individual organization. This panel of basin
stakeholders will express their views on the important emerging
issues for their agency or organization and the relevance of the
Savannah River basin Watershed Project for addressing these
issues.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Institute of Ecology, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institutes Authorization Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-397).
