2008 Water Resources Program Released

SRBC adopted its 2008 Water Resources Program on March 13 cataloging 12 identified water resource needs for the Susquehanna basin and the many programs and projects intended to address those needs. SRBC is required by the Susquehanna River Basin Compact (P.L. 91-575) to produce an annual water resource program consisting of the programs and projects proposed in the upcoming years by SRBC, other governmental agencies, private-sector interests and organizations to address identified water resource needs.

The 12 identified water resources needs relate to coordination, flood damage reduction, water quality improvement, drought mitigation, adequate water supplies, economic development, aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection, migratory fish restoration, recreation enhancement, sediment management, cultural and historical heritage preservation, and data management.

The 60-page 2008 Water Resources Program is available on SRBC’s web site at www.srbc.net/planning. For hard copies, contact Ms. Ava Stoops at (717) 238-0423 ext. 302 or send an e-mail to srbc@srbc.net.
