flow models for simulation of selected water-management scenarios in the coastal area
of Georgia and adjacent parts of South Carolina and Florida: U.S. Geological Survey
Water- Resources Investigations Report 00-4084, 93 p.
This report outlines revisions made to ground-water flow models of the Floridan
aquifer system in the coastal area of Georgia and adjacent parts of South Carolina and
Florida. The updated models were then used to facilitate evaluation of the effects of
pumping on the ground-water level near areas of saltwater contamination. Thirty-two
pumping scenarios were analyzed. Maps showing simulated ground-water-level decline
and diagrams presenting changes in simulated flow rates are presented for each
scenario.

Saltwater contamination is restricting the development of ground-water supply in
coastal Georgia and adjacent parts of South Carolina and Florida. This report outlines
the coastal Georgia geologic setting, pre and post-development groundwater flow
behavior, the differing mechanisms of saltwater intrusion at Hilton Head Island, SC and
Brunswick, GA, and addresses the need for a water management plan to sustain growth
in these areas.

The GA EPD has developed a series of studies, the Coastal Sound Science Initiative, in
which they are reviewing feasible alternatives for supporting the EPA’s strategy to
protect the Upper Floridan Aquifer. The USGS is working in conjunction with GA
EPD to help simulate management alternatives that could help reduce saltwater
contamination.

This report reviews the use of ground-water flow models for the coastal area of Georgia
and adjacent parts of South Carolina and Florida, by the USGS, to simulate various
water-management scenarios. Results of these simulations were used by the GA EPD to
help develop an interim water-management strategy for coastal Georgia. Results of
selected model simulations are presented in this paper.
