Regulations

The waters of the Susquehanna River are used for many purposes—domestic, municipal, agricultural, commercial, industrial, energy, ecological, and recreational. These competing needs led to the drafting of the Susquehanna River Basin Compact, which states that the Commission must balance sustainable economic development with conserving the Basin’s aquatic ecosystems.
