Outdoor recreation like hunting, fishing, and boating is a part of our way of life. Alabama waterways create thousands of jobs and generate hundreds of millions of dollars every year for our economy. A smart Water Action Plan will ensure that future generations can enjoy our outdoor traditions and the natural beauty of our state treasures.
By protecting the amount of water flowing in our rivers and streams, a Water Action Plan can reduce pollution and ensure the quality of Alabama’s drinking water. Our water supplies are like a bank account, and we can’t withdraw more than we deposit. A Water Action Plan will ensure enough healthy water for communities, as well as farmers and wildlife.
Water providers, agriculture, environmental groups, local governments and the business community are working to identify and address threats to Alabama’s water supply. But we need state leadership to act now to protect the water supply for drinking, irrigating crops, recreation and wildlife. Past droughts have reduced stream levels to all-time lows, and we need a plan to protect rivers, the Bay, wildlife, and our drinking water before the next drought hits. Alabama is the only state among its neighbors that does not have a comprehensive water plan.
