The Suwannee River Water Management District is one of Florida's five regional districts created by the state legislature through the Water Resources Act of 1972 to oversee water resources in its jurisdiction. It serves the north-central portion of the state and is the smallest district in terms of geographic area, population served, tax base, and staff. Its responsibilities include water quality and quantity monitoring, research, regulation, land acquisition and management, and flood protection. The district is based in Live Oak, Florida. Its work serves residents and public agencies that rely on stable water resources and effective flood risk management. Recent developments include the publication of a Hydrologic Conditions Report to inform the public about water levels and rainfall impacts in north Florida, and the district's recognition with the 2024 ASFPM Outreach Award for its flood risk work. Overall, it operates as a mid-sized public agency focused on protecting water resources and guiding land use and regulatory actions in its service area.
