Probabilities, Frequencies, and Risks to the South Fork Edisto Flow Regime - L Allan James PhD

L. Allen James, Ph. D, is a professor at the University of South Carolina who holds a masters degree in Water Resources Management and Geography, and a Ph.D. held jointly with Geography and Geology (specializing in river science). Dr. James has been a U.S.C. faculty member since 1988, and is recognized as an expert in river science and abundant expertise in river flows and hydrologic regimes.

The attached PDF is his assessment of the potential impact of an 805 Million gallon/month withdrawal on the South Edisto.

I'm publishing this because sever folks at The Farm Bureau and Push Media have claimed that we are exaggerating when we say that rivers can be "sucked dry" under the current laws. Dr. James says it is possible.
