Georgia regional water plans: the September 2011 historical collection
This independent index brings together guides to the ten September 2011 regional plans recovered from the former planning website. Each guide describes the subject matter and potential research uses, distinguishes historical forecasts from present conditions and links to the externally archived original.
The ten plans belong to the councils established through the statewide planning process. Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District has a separate planning history and is not an eleventh PDF in this collection.

How to choose the right edition
Use the edition named by the publication you are checking. A consultation-stage document records initial recommendations; the September file records the later plan. This site does not assume that their recommendations, figures or wording are identical. If a citation names a file that has not been recovered, request that exact edition from the official program rather than silently substituting another one.
The old initial_recommended_regional_water_plans.php address changed its contents over time. A May 2011 archive capture linked to consultation-stage PDFs, while an August 2014 capture linked to the adopted files. The date of the citing page can therefore help identify the intended edition.
