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.
