Abstract
The Broad River Watershed Protection
Demonstration Project used GIS database
development and spatial modeling to identify sensitive
and threatened land areas within the river basin. A
parallel public outreach effort involved and educated
local stakeholders and local governments in water
resource management issues and techniques. The
tools and approaches used in the project may be
transferred to other watersheds and river basins
throughout Georgia. The study concluded that local
stakeholders value watershed resources, and prefer
educational approaches, followed by locally-based
regulatory approaches, to protect these resources.
