Abstract
The South Carolina Water Resources Planning and Coordination Act mandates that the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) develop a comprehensive water resources policy for the state of South Carolina. SCDNR developed the first state water plan—the South Carolina Water Plan—in 1998. The plan was updated in 2004 following what is recognized as one of the worst multi-year droughts on record, which ended in 2002. One of the recommendations from the South Carolina Water Plan, Second Edition was forming advisory committees to develop comprehensive water resource plans for each of the state’s four major river basins—the Ashepoo-Combahee-Edisto, Pee Dee, Santee, and Savannah. In 2014, when the development of surface water quantity models to support the planning process began, SCDNR and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), now the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES), further subdivided the basins based on SCDES’s delineations used for the Water Quality Assessments. The eight planning basins are the Broad, Catawba, Edisto, Pee Dee, Lower Savannah-Salkehatchie, Saluda, Santee, and Upper Savannah. The Edisto River basin was the first of the eight river basins to begin and complete the process. The Pee Dee River basin is the third to develop a River Basin Plan, and the plan is presented in this document.
