The purpose of the 2022–2026 Northeast Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) Strategic Action Plan is to document regionally identified needs and offer a guide for future activities that will improve drought early warning and preparedness in the Northeast DEWS. Partners from across New England and New York attended virtual listening sessions in October and November of 2020 to discuss the progress made and identify next steps.

This basin master water control manual describes the overall water control plan for the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) River Basin. Descriptions of the basin, history of development, water control activities, and coordination with others are provided as supplemental information to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the basin water control plan. This manual provides a general reference source for ACT water control regulation. It is intended for use in day-to-day, real-time water management decision making and for training new personnel.
