Learn about Georgia's innovative approach to water resource management in this conference presentation from the Georgia Water Resources Conference. Explore the development of Basin Environmental Assessment Models (BEAMs) using the OASIS platform, which represents a significant advancement from previous ResSim-based models. Discover how these new models enable faster simulations and more granular analysis through increased planning nodes, including individual facility assessments. Follow the implementation of a pilot BEAM for the Oconee-Ocmulgee-Altamaha (OOA) basin, examining its framework, capabilities, and impact on state water planning. Gain insights into withdrawal strategies, instream flow protection, performance metrics, flow regime evaluation, and habitat considerations for various activities including kayaking and bass fishing. Understand how these models support Regional Planning Councils in making informed decisions about water resource management and environmental protection across Georgia's river basins.
