lt;p>The Savannah River Clean Water Fund connects water utilities, state forestry commissions, land trusts, landowners, corporations, and other partners, grounded in the principle that healthy forests provide sustainably clean water to customers that is less expensive to treat, transport, and store. By investing in “natural infrastructure” via conservation easements, Fund partners have committed to conserving beneficial lands to maintain source water quality and numerous ecosystem services for communities in the Basin. The 2.8 million-acre watershed is prime landscape for a Water Fund and source water protection through forest protection. Between Augusta and Savannah, the watershed is largely rural with 78% of the watershed covered by forest land, and over 500,000 acres are permanently protected.
