 About Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission
  Piedmont Water Summit
  Issue: How can we access basic information to help us understand our county’s groundwater? A hydrologic study of the county would cost a lot of money. Funding will allow the VA DMR to extend the work that they’ve been doing in Albemarle, Fluvanna and Louisa into other localities. It is important to know how much groundwater is available; It’s difficult to change groundwater contamination by landfills
  Water Resources In Fluvanna County
  Groundwater is the major current source of drinking water for the county residents and it is important to understand the limits of this resource as well as limitations to its use and actions that can be taken to protect the groundwater resource.
  Rivanna River Basin Project
  Stormwater run-off is rapid and contributes to bank erosion and stream side damage. Summertime low flows are getting lower because rainwater runs off rapidly into the stream rather than being stored as slowly-released groundwater.
 About Non-governmental organization (NGO)
  Stream Watch
  StreamWatch monitors and assesses Rivanna basin streams and rivers to help the community maintain and restore healthy waterways.
  Rivanna Trails Foundation
  The mission of the Rivanna Trails Foundation is to create and protect natural footpaths, which follow the Rivanna River and its tributaries, for the enjoyment of all. We incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1992, and to date have completed more than 20 miles of hiking trails.
