Branch Mission -- To ensure that the waters of North Carolina are developed and managed in a sustainable manner for the benefit of all water users.

The River Basin Management Branch performs water resources investigations on management issues and water yields for reservoirs and river basins statewide. The Branch uses computer models extensively to simulate and evaluate surface water resources. Technical assistance is provided for understanding system capabilities, decision-making, and policy-making based on the investigations and modeling. Also, the Branch provides staff support for the Environmental Management Commission's Water Allocation Committee.
