Abstract
The natural functions provided by
Georgia’s streams and rivers, such as providing healthy
aquatic habitats, have been impaired by the more than
68,000 reservoirs in the state. In light of renewed
interest in reservoir construction, improved cumulative
ecological impact assessments are necessary to better
understand the impacts and manage the state’s water
resources. The federal agencies should convene state
water resource experts to develop science-based
guidance to perform these important and complex
assessments.
