Abstract
The Georgia Environmental Protection
Division (GAEPD) of the Department of Natural
Resources has adopted a watershed protection approach to
water resources management. This approach, referred to
as river basin management planning, is an integrated
holistic approach focusing on water resources related
activities within a watershed. GAEPD is currently
developing the river basin management planning program
and implementing it in the Chattahoochee, Flint, Coosa,
and Oconee River basins. Basin management plans for
other river basins in the State are also scheduled for
development. River basin management planning is not a
new regulatory program, but represents a new approach to
water resources management for the State of Georgia.
