Abstract
A comprehensive water resources
management study has been authorized by the 1996
Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) directing
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop an
updated plan addressing current and future needs in the basin, examine reallocation of storage, and to
develop a better management structure to deal with basin water resources issues. The Reconnaissance
Phase and development of a scope of work for the
feasibility phase was completed in July and September
of 1999, respectively. A Feasibility Study Cost-Sharing Agreement, defining a partnership with the states of Georgia and South Carolina, was signed in
June 2000. Under this agreement, the feasibility phase is cost-shared 50% Federal funds and 50% combined
state funds. Currently, as the states secure their cost shares, the Corps-Georgia-South Carolina team has
been defining the overall study make-up, and initiating
the first study actions.
