2025 South Carolina State Water Plan

South Carolina Department of Environmental Services
Abstract
The South Carolina Water Resources Planning and Coordination Act requires the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services to develop a comprehensive water resources policy for the state. As prescribed in the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework, a collaborative guide for water planning in each river basin, River Basin Councils were formed in the state’s major planning basins. Each RBC was charged with supporting the development of a River Basin Plan as “a collection of water management strategies supported by a summary of data and analyses 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.” By extension, ensuring the availability of water resources even during drought becomes the overarching goal of this State Water Plan.
