Abundant water resources of the Flint River Basin have played a major role in the history and development of southwestern Georgia. The Flint River—along with its tributaries, wetlands, and swamps—and the productive aquifers of the river basin are essential components of the area’s diverse ecosystems. These resources also are necessary for sustained agricultural, industrial, and municipal activities. Increasing, and in some cases conflicting, demand for water makes careful monitoring and wise planning and management of southwestern Georgia’s water resources critical to the ecological and economic future of the area. This poster presents the major issues associated with increasing competition for water resources in the southern Flint River Basin.
