The Southeastern U.S. spans broad ranges of physiographic settings and contains a wide variety of aquatic systems that provide habitat for hundreds of endemic aquatic species that pose interesting challenges and opportunities for managers of aquatic resources, particularly in the face of climate change. For example, the Southeast contains the southernmost populations of the eastern brook trout and other cold-water dependent species. Climate change is predicted to increase temperatures in the South and is likely to have a substantial effect on extant populations of cold-water biota. Thus, aquatic managers are tasked with developing strategies for preserving cold-water dependent biota, such as eastern brook trout,...

The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) Basin in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia has ongoing conflict over water use and availability. To address this issue, the USGS is conducting a three-year study to estimate water use, model surface and groundwater flow, and develop ecological flow relations.
