lt;p>The Savannah River Clean Water Fund connects water utilities, state forestry<br> commissions, land trusts, landowners, corporations, and other partners, grounded in the principle that healthy<br> forests provide sustainably clean water to customers that is less expensive to treat, transport, and<br> store. By investing in “natural infrastructure” via conservation easements, Fund partners have<br> committed to conserving beneficial lands to maintain source water quality and numerous<br> 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.</p>
