Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin encompasses all the land that drains into Winyah Bay at Georgetown, South Carolina. Five Major Land Resource Areas comprise the basin -- the Blue Ridge, Southern Piedmont, Carolina and Georgia Sand Hills, Southern Coastal Plain and the Atlantic Coast Flatwoods. Fifty-seven (57) percent of the 11,770,910 acre basin is in North Carolina, 43 percent is in South Carolina and less than one percent is in Virginia. Table IN-1 shows present land use. This report presents alternative solutions to water and land resource problems that were identified in the course of study for the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin in North Carolina and South Carolina. Major problems addressed by the study are soil erosion and related sediment; loss of natural resources such as prime farmland and prime forest land, wetlands, and historical and archeological sites; losses from droughts, flooding, and wetness; future shortage of wood fiber; shortage of water storage and undeveloped recreational resources.
