Community Watershed Assessment Program North Georgia is facing many tough planning decisions at the beginning of the 21st century. The most critical involve the environment and specifically water resources. How will we manage our water resources to ensure that there's enough for our communities, as well as the people and wildlife downstream? How can we ensure the water we drink is clean? How can we ensure that the water we return to the environment is safe? What can we do to preserve the character of our streams and rivers for future generations of people, plants and animals to enjoy? The key to making good planning decisions for the future is having good information about the present. In March 1999, the governments of Hall and Forsyth counties and the City of Gainesville joined forces to perform an assessment of the watersheds in their jurisdictions. The goal of this regional watershed assessment was to identify what affects the water, habitat and aquatic life in the area's streams and rivers, predict how conditions might change over time and develop management plans for each government to use to protect and enhance water resources. It has been important to the governments involved and to the state Environmental Protection Division that this project considers the water resources from a regional perspective. If a stream that runs through two jurisdictions is managed well in one and not in the other, there will be little benefit overall.
