Water Supply Potential of Seepage Ponds in the Coastal Area of Georgia
Sponsor: GWRI
Start Date: 1999-07-01; Completion Date: 2001-06-30;
Keywords: Surface aquifer linkages, Irrigation supply, Hydrologic budget
Project Description:
In the coastal area of Georgia, ponds are sometimes excavated at golf courses, farms, or communities by digging through sandy surface soils until the water table is reached. These man-made seepage ponds are often used to supply water for irrigation, and are thus a potential supplemental source of water to the Upper Floridan aquifer. Because the potential availability of water from seepage ponds is poorly understood in coastal regions, a test site will be selected for detailed evaluation.
