Abstract
Major water resource issues including the tri-state water battle between Georgia, Alabama and Florida to salt water intrusion problems along the Georgia and South Carolina coast are affecting water resources availability for agricultural irrigation. Drought has also caused a more rapid implementation of management options for improving the efficiency of water use and understanding of water resource limits. Agricultural irrigation is essential to maintaining production and the economic viability of rural Georgia while minimizing risk.
