Abstract
This report is the third of the eight river basin plans, and it is organized and supported by the work of the State Water Planning Process Advisory Committee (PPAC). The PPAC participated in a facilitated process to create a thorough, practical, and consistent planning approach that is being applied in each river basin. Published in 2019, the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework now serves as a comprehensive, uniform guide for the RBCs, each charged with developing an understanding of the water resources in their respective basins; identifying the gaps or risks related to current and future water uses; and developing recommended policies, management practices, and legislative considerations “designed to ensure the surface water and groundwater resources of a river basin will be available for all uses for years to come, even under drought conditions.” While the Planning Framework focuses the first edition of river basin plans on water quantity, it also notes that water quality concerns may be highlighted and that water quality considerations will be more fully developed in later iterations of river basin plans. The river basin plans are the fourth of a five-step process to update the South Carolina State Water Plan with actionable recommendations and priorities.
