Managing for Aquatic Ecological Drought: Lessons from a Southeastern U.S. Workshop

Given the broad interest and need to better understand and plan for ecological drought in the Southeast, the U.S. Geological Survey's Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and NIDIS, in support of the Southeast Drought Early Warning System, convened a 2-day workshop in January 2025. This workshop brought together scientists and managers from diverse fields, to address drought and low-flow in the Southeast and its impacts to aquatic systems across the region. 

Join the Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and NOAA’s NIDIS on Wednesday, August 27 at 1 p.m. ET as they discuss the outcomes and lessons learned from the workshop and how it can inform drought resilience, response, and planning in the Southeast. 

You can also learn more about the Drought and Aquatic Ecosystems in the Southeast Workshop and read the final workshop report.
