Abstract
During the drought period of 1998-2000, ground-water levels throughout Georgia were affected by reduced recharge and increased ground-water pumpage. These combined effects caused record-low ground-water levels in some areas and near record lows in other areas. The drought has been notable not only for extreme low ground-water levels, but also because of the length of time these low ground-water levels have persisted.
