Watershed Dams
Watersheds provide flood control, water quality, recreation, and water supply benefits to Georgia citizens. The Watershed Program was initiated to give financial and technical assistance to ensure that the state's dams maintain their structural integrity, operate effectively to continue providing community services, and comply with the Georgia Safe Dams Act.
