PARTICIPATION STATEMENT



THE GEORGIA WATER COALITION (GWC) BELIEVES THE FOLLOWING:

  • The surface and ground waters of the state should continue to be a public resource and should be managed in the public interest and in a sustainable manner by the state to protect natural systems and meet human and economic needs;
  • Water management must be guided by a comprehensive state water management plan, developed by a lead agency with a dedicated planning staff, in coordination with other agencies and with the participation of all interested citizens;
  • Effective water management requires regional water planning, based on watersheds, river basins and aquifers, that is tied to implementation including an adaptive management process; and
  • Regulation of interbasin transfers must be strengthened to reflect scientific knowledge, respect natural systems, and protect the basins of origin and receipt.
