The objectives of the Water Availability Study are to inventory and assess key water resources of the Deer Creek Watershed, establish an estimated sustainable yield from the watershed, describe and inventory current water uses, project demands for different use sectors, and evaluate potential issues and problems related to future water availability through the year 2025.

SRBC’s consumptive water use regulation is designed to maintain streamflows to protect water supplies, instream uses such as fish and aquatic life, and recreation during periods of low streamflow. Regulated consumptive water users must mitigate for their consumptive water use during times of designated low flows.

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) conducted a water quality and biological survey of the Chemung Subbasin from June to August 2006. This report details the Year-1 survey, which consists of point-in-time water chemistry, macroinvertebrate, and habitat data collection and assessments of the major tributaries and areas of interest through the Chemung Subbasin.

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) study of water quality in the Yellow Breeches Creek Watershed Pennsylvania from February-November 2006.
