Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Tombigbee River Basin is part of a sub-region of the South Atlantic-Gulf Region. The basin is located in Western Alabama and Northeastern Mississippi. It comprises all or part of 16 counties in Alabama and 19 counties in Mississippi. The boundary encompasses 8.8 million acres of land and water, with 4.9 million acres in Alabama and 3.9 million acres in Mississippi. It is approximately 85 miles wide and 260 miles long. The basin consists of the drainage area of the Tombigbee River above the confluence with the Alabama River, except for the drainage area of the Black Warrior River that flows into the Tombigbee River near Demopolis, Alabama. The eastern boundary is the divide of the Alabama and Black Warrior Rivers. The Tennessee and Hatchie River Systems make up the northern boundary. The western boundary consists of the divides of the Tallahatchie, Yalobusha, Big Black, Pearl, Chickasawhay, and Escatawpa Rivers. The purpose of the study was to formulate alternative plans and suggest an alternative for use in facilitating the coordinated and orderly conservation, development, utilization, and management of the water and related land resources of the basin. Achievement of this purpose required an assessment of the water and related land resource problems, needs, and development potentials of the basin.
