Georgia Water Resources Institute

South Carolina Water Resources Center

The Georgia Water Resources Institute at Georgia Tech and the South Carolina Water Resources Center at Clemson University invite you to a workshop focusing on issues related to the Savannah River, a key water resource shared between Georgia and South Carolina. The purpose of the workshop is to (1) review the status and findings of recent and on going studies and planning processes, (2) identify information gaps, if any, that need to be addressed to enable policy makers to develop comprehensive, equitable, and sustainable water sharing compacts, and (3) form the partnerships necessary to fill the information gaps and support comprehensive water resources planning and management.

The workshop will be held at the Georgia Tech Campus in Savannah, Georgia on Thursday, November 18^th and Friday, November 19^th. A tentative workshop agenda is shown below including presentations on water resources issues and breakout sessions on a range of water sharing issues.

If you are interested in attending this workshop, please R.S.V.P. to Ms. Jean Martin (jean@strom.clemson.edu; 864-656-0208) or Ms. Janice Davis (janice.davis@ce.gatech.edu; 404-894-2217).
