Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The James River Basin comprises 6,442,400 acres with 6,394,300 acres in Virginia and 48,100 acres in West Virginia. The Basin drains approximately 25 percent of central Virginia and less than 1 percent of West Virginia. The James River rises in the highlands near the Virginia-West Virginia line and flows generally eastward thru the cities of Covington, Lynchburg, and Richmond to the Chesapeake Bay at Newport News, Virginia. The Basin drains all or part of 39 counties in Virginia and two in West Virginia. The major tributaries of the James River are the Appomattox, Maury and Rivanna Rivers. The James River Basin study is defined as a Type IV level of investigation. The survey evaluates the overall water and related land resource problems and development potentials. This report contains an inventory of water and related land resources. It provides an economic base and describes problems and needs, development potentials, opportunities, and alternative solutions to meet present and probable future needs for water and related land resources. Projections were made by participating agencies to determine the needs for orderly growth and development of the Basin for the years 1980, 2000 and 2020.
