One Integrated Plan for Metro Atlanta's Water Resources

The Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District’s Water Resource Management Plan brings together water supply and conservation, wastewater management, and watershed management into a single, integrated document.

Combining these three plans enables the Metro Water District to look at water management in a holistic fashion, helping meet the future needs of the Metro Water District while protecting water quality and supply in the District as well as in downstream communities.

The plan, developed with robust stakeholder input, includes a range of action steps that build on the Metro Water District’s water conservation and management achievements.
