The WaterSC Water Resources Working Group is set to hold its inaugural meeting on October 30, 2024. The meeting will take place from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Stone River, located at 121 Alexander Road in West Columbia, South Carolina.

Governor Henry McMaster initiated the formation of this group through Executive Order 2024-22 on September 24, 2024. The S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) leads the initiative, which aims to create a state water plan that balances economic and environmental interests. This effort comes as South Carolina faces increased demand for water resources due to significant economic development and population growth.

WaterSC's work involves collaboration across state agencies and engagement with key stakeholders to ensure long-term protection of the state's water resources. The meeting will be accessible via livestream on scetv.org, courtesy of SCETV, which will also provide media outlets with a multbox for use.

Further details about the agenda and participants can be found at des.sc.gov/WaterSC.
