The competition for river resources in Virginia becomes more intense each year.
Increasing population and urbanization have placed many of our rivers under severe stress, exacerbating problems of pollution, low flows, toxic, habitat loss and other environmental degradation.
River resource demands are increasing from municipalities, recreation groups, utilities, industry, sportsmen and the general public.
FORVA believes it is essential to protect our scarce and diminishing river resources before they become further degraded.
