In carrying out these responsibilities, the department shall seek and utilize to the extent possible the input, resources, and expertise of other agencies in assisting in drought mitigation planning and response.

2021 South Carolina Code of Laws|Title 49 - Waters, Water Resources and Drainage|Chapter 23 - South Carolina Drought Response Act|Section 49-23-40. Applicability of chapter.

 This chapter applies to all of the water resources in streams, lakes, and potable drinking water supplies and water levels in the above and below ground water tables of the State, but this chapter does not authorize any restriction in use of water during an incipient, moderate, and severe drought declaration injected into aquifer storage and recovery facilities, water stored in managed watershed impoundments or water from any pond completely situated on private property and fed only by diffused surface water. During a drought declaration, the use of water from a managed watershed impoundment shall not be restricted as long as minimum streamflow or flow equal to the 7Q10 is maintained, whichever is less. For the purposes of this chapter, the waters of the State shall include all groundwater and all surface water within the State as defined in Section 49-23-20.

2021 South Carolina Code of Laws|Title 49 - Waters, Water Resources and Drainage|Chapter 23 - South Carolina Drought Response Act|Section 49-23-50. Functions of department.

 Consistent with the South Carolina Water Resources Planning and Coordination Act, as provided in Chapter 3 of Title 49, the department, without limiting its general authority, shall:  (a) routinely monitor and record data necessary for the determination of drought conditions;  (b) make investigations it considers proper to determine whether action by the department in discharging its duties is necessary;  (c) determine levels of drought after consultation with the Drought Response Committee based upon data collected;  (d) establish drought management areas within the State in order to:  (1) enable drought mitigation to be accomplished within defined geographical areas;  (2) prevent overly broad response to drought. Statewide action usually should not be taken in instances in which action in a particular area experiencing drought is more appropriate. Establishment of drought management areas by the department in no way limits the department's or the Drought Response Committee's authority to act in an area smaller than a drought management area, such as a county or watershed.  (e) establish drought alert phases based upon drought levels and at each drought alert phase:  (1) notify public water suppliers, special purpose districts, and municipal and county governments in the affected drought management area, persons designated on notification lists, and other appropriate agencies and individuals;  (2) The department shall publish notice of each drought alert phase at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the areas affected and provide notice to the media in each drought management area at each drought alert phase;  (3) take any other action appropriate to announce a drought alert;  (f) coordinate and implement responses to announced drought alert phases after required notification;  (g) execute the regulations promulgated by the department reasonably necessary to collect and distribute information, convene committees, promote water conservation, govern practice and procedure before the department, and fulfill its duties and the purposes of this chapter.
