Moore County, NC Groundwater-Level Monitoring
An increasing demand for drinking water is one of the major issues facing the Moore County area. Managers need accurate information on surface and groundwater conditions to plan and balance maintaining an adequate water-supply and meeting in-stream flow requirements. The principal study objective is to collect water-level data at existing monitoring wells to establish a long-term data set that can...
Papers, Posters, and Exhibits by U.S. Geological Survey Personnel at Georgia Water Resources Conferences
The Georgia Water Resources Institute (GWRI) is a non-profit organization with a mission to improve the science and practice of water resources planning and management in ways that balance quality of life, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. The GWRI hosts Georgia Water Resources Conferences every other year, and USGS personnel always have a large presence at the conference
Influence of subsurface drains on contaminant source and fate, Site 45, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has begun examination of particular aspects associated with groundwater contamination by chlorinated solvents (Tetra Tech NUS, Inc., 2004, 2005) at Site 45, Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD), Parris Island, South Carolina. The groundwater contamination plume is characterized by two major lobes, hereafter referred to the southern and northern parts of the...
Characterization of subsurface bedrock fractures at GMH Electronics EPA Superfund Site near Roxboro, NC
The US Environmental Protection designated a former electronics manufacturing facility as a Superfund cleanup site near Roxboro, North Carolina. Operations at a former gasoline station/store and electronic component production facility may have resulted in the presence of a volatile-organic compound (VOC) plume in groundwater in the area; referred to as the "GMH Electronics Site". The major...
Brunswick County, NC Groundwater-Level Monitoring
Since 2000, the population of Brunswick County has grown by more than 50%. A growth of this magnitude places significant stress on Brunswick County’s natural resources. County planners have recognized the potential consequences of land use changes associated with growth and the resulting increased demand on water resources by consolidating the many public utility providers into one organization...
Investigation of Flow Patterns, Water-Quantity and Water-Quality Conditions in the Bushy Park Reservoir, Charleston, South Carolina
The U.S. Geological Survey South Atlantic Water Science Center, South Carolina office, in cooperation with Charleston Water System (CWS), is evaluating the hydrodynamics of the Bushy Park Reservoir to determine the effects on water-quality conditions.
Development and Application of a Groundwater Flow and Management Model and Assessment of Groundwater Contamination, Chesterfield County Region, South Carolina
The objective of the investigation was to develop and apply a groundwater flow and groundwater management model that can be used to better manage the groundwater resources in the Chesterfield County, S.C. area. Objectives of these better management practices would be to help assure sustainability of the groundwater resources in the area. A groundwater-flow model was developed for the Coastal Plain...
Southwest Georgia Agricultural Water Conservation and Metering Program
During 2008-2015, the U.S. Geological Survey investigated methods to estimate agricultural water use and growing season pumping rates through the analysis of water-meter data throughout southwest Georgia. Reports are available by year.
