Abstract
The purpose of resource sensitivity is to integrate
understanding about the stresses on river basin systems into the
comprehensive planning and management process.
Understanding how fluctuating natural conditions affect water
resources and the ability of users to manage them in an
economically and ecologically feasible fashion is useful to
charting the future course for planning and ultimately
managing the whole river basin system. This brief paper
outlines the sensitivity affecting navigation windows and the
Eufaula wildlife refuge to illustrate the need to consider how
key sectors adjust to climate changes in the ACF river basin.
The two sectors are further illustrative of how operations to
facilitate navigation windows can increase the risks from
natural hazards to other sectors like wildlife habitats.
