Water Availability for Ecological Needs in the Upper Flint River Basin, Georgia

This report is available online in pdf format (2 MB): USGS FS 2006-3114 ()

U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2006-3114, 4 pages (Published September 2006)

The Flint River Science Thrust project of the U.S. Geological Survey is part of a federally funded program to address key national science priorities including landslides/debris flows, fire science, integrated landscape monitoring, and water availability. The purpose of the project is to advance the science needed to specify the hydrologic conditions necessary to support flowing-water ecosystems. This information is critical for management of water resources. Specific project goals include:

• Develop conceptual models that relate hydrology, geomorphology, and water quality to biological management objectives.
• Evaluate and determine the major factors driving the conceptual models and determine additional data needs.
• Use the upper Flint River Basin to demonstrate a spatially explicit predictive model for evaluating water-supply development options that links watershed conditions to biological management objectives.
• Identify research and monitoring needed to address critical uncertainties and data gaps determined during model development.
