Water resources world-wide are considered tremendous. Three quarters of the earth's surface is made up of water. However, 97% of the world's water is salty and of little direct value to man. Another two percent of our water is tied-up as ice. This leaves only one percent of all our world's water available for direct use by man. The demands for use of this fresh water are numerous and often there are conflicts between water resource users.

This web site will provide easy access to water resource information that is of importance to those involved in production agriculture, aquaculture and water resource conservation. It does not provide all the water resources information available but is a selection of that information that may be most important to citizens of South Carolina.
