Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The study area consists of 32 counties composed of approximately 7.7 million acres located in southwest Georgia. The area is bounded along the south by the Georgia-Florida state boundary and along the west by the Chattahoochee River, which is also the Georgia-Alabama state boundary. The northern boundary roughly approximates the outcrop area of several geologic formations that produce a very sandy and somewhat agriculturally unproductive surface mantle. The eastern study area boundary follows the Ocmulgee River southeastward to a point where the river turns eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean. The study boundary then follows county boundaries basically south to the Georgia-Florida line. The main study objective was to develop land and water resource management strategies and recommendations for implementation. Study activities included conducting inventories of land use, prime farmland, areas with excessive erosion, irrigable acres, and acres irrigated. These were used as bases for projecting land and water use to 1990 and evaluating the impacts of alternative land treatment programs on those projected conditions
