Apalachicola River Basin

The Apalachicola River Basin is a vital ecological and hydrological region in the southeastern United States, primarily located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Formed by the Apalachicola River—which originates from the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers—it encompasses a diverse ecosystem, including wetlands, forests, and wildlife habitats. The basin is important for water supply, recreation, and agriculture, and it supports local economies, particularly in fisheries and timber. The area faces environmental challenges, including water management conflicts and conservation efforts to protect its unique natural resources and ecosystems.
