Overview

In August 2025, the Saluda River Basin Plan was completed by the Saluda River Basin Council under the guidance of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework. Formal council meetings began in March 2023, and the council met on a monthly basis over a two and a half year period to work on the plan. The River Basin Plan includes a review of surface water availability over a 50-year planning horizon and documents water management strategies that will help ensure water is available for all future uses. Meeting agendas, presentations, recordings, and summaries for each council meeting and other public meetings can be accessed on the Saluda River Basin Meetings page.
