Water Management - Oswego River Basin
Management of the water resources of the Oswego River Basin
continues to be arduous, especially during severe uncontrolled
precipitation and snowmelt. NYSCC is committed to operation of the
Canal resource and continues to monitor the system and adjust water
control structures to ensure opportunities for recreational
activities.
A Fact Sheet (PDF) is available entitled 'Managing the Water Resources of the Oswego
River Basin in Central New York'
from the USGS
Website.
The PDF offered
by USGS has been created through a joint
effort of The United Stage Geological Survey (USGS) and the Finger
Lakes - Lake Ontario Watershed Protection Alliance (FL-LOWPA).
This
fact sheet provides a comprehensive summary of the Oswego River
Basin, limitations on control, and goals and priorities in
water-resource management.
