The Georgia General Assembly approved the Georgia Comprehensive State-wide Water Management Plan early in the 2008 session, and Governor Sonny Perdue signed it on February 6, 2008. The Plan gives Georgians a flexible framework for water management with support from statewide policies and practices. The statewide policies will guide regional plans that will address water management issues unique to each area.
The purpose of the Plan is to guide Georgia in managing water resources in a sustainable manner to support the state's economy, to protect public health and natural systems, and to enhance the quality of life for all citizens.
Work has begun work to implement the Plan. Important information about the implementation work will be posted on this web site. Implementation of the Plan will take place over a three-year period.
