Abstract
The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint
(ACF) Basin has experienced three major drought
events in the past 50 years. A cumulative deficit
evaluation of the drought events shows that the greatest
cumulative rainfall deficit occurred during the mid
1950’s event, but the greatest flow deficit occurred
during the 1999–2002 drought event. An evaluation of
the unimpaired flow set, being used to develop an
Allocation Formula for the ACF Basin, indicates that
this data set is not consistent with these findings,
suggesting further evaluation may be needed to address
the adequacy of the dataset as the basis for future policy
decisions. Caution should be used in using and in
interpreting model results from this time period.
