"Reservoirs in Georgia: Meeting Water Supply Needs while Minimizing Impacts" is a white paper that discusses one of the state's most pressing water resource issues: meeting water supply needs for now and for the future. Directed at Georgia's water supply decision makers and stakeholders in that process and published by the University of Georgia River Basin Science and Policy Center, the paper provides an overview of the number of reservoirs in the state, reservoir impacts on services provided by free-flowing streams and rivers, and water supply planning approaches that can meet future water needs while minimizing those impacts.
