The United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) Inventory and Monitoring program initiated a project with the University of Georgia to develop Water Resource Inventories and Assessments (WRIAs). The project was created to assist the National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in managing their water resources and aid in achieving the refuges overall goals and mission. The WRIA reports document and catalog all available data pertaining to water resources on the refuge and in a greater Region of Hydrologic Influence (RHI). This project focuses on the construction of a workflow to create WRIAs, then creating multiple WRIAs in the Southeast. Finally, this project documents water resource trends in the Southeast shown in the WRIAs. The WRIA process is beneficial to the USFWS refuges in the Southeast, and when used together, the WRIAs can provide important guidance pertaining to data collection at the refuge scale for multiple southeastern refuges.
