Activities and reports on water planning in the Lower Savannah-Salkehatchie River basin.
Overview
River basin planning activities in the Lower Savannah-Salkehatchie river basin have been initiated under the guidance of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework. Two public meetings were hosted by the SCDNR on August 24th at the Walterboro Wildlife Center in Walterboro, SC and on August 29th at the North Augusta Community Center in North Augusta, SC to kick-off planning activities (presentations given at each meeting can be accessed on the meetings page). An overview of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework was provided to stakeholders in the basin, and applications to serve on the Lower Savannah-Salkehatchie River Basin Council were solicited. Formal Council meetings will begin in the Fall of 2023. Meeting agendas, presentations, recordings, and summaries can be accessed here.
