Abstract
The question addressed is: How should the
total allowed consumptive and non-consumptive
withdrawal amounts from a stream or aquifer be allocated
among the competing present users and future users of the
water? Who gets the water and how much and for how
long? What should be the basis for making this decision
for permit applicants? How can the Georgia EPD
implement the policy?
The panelists present their proposals for what the policy
should be, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
the alternative policies. The panel is intended to provide
ideas and information useful as background for the public,
EPD and the Georgia Water Council in preparing the state
policy component of the Comprehensive State-wide
Water Management Plan.
