Abstract
A reconnaissance investigation of five counties
in west central Georgia was conducted utilizing capture zone
and GIS overlay analysis methods to estimate the general
quantity of the ground-water resource and to identify those
areas that would be most favorable to explore for highyielding
well sites. The estimated available ground-water
resource in the Piedmont portion of the area (1,357 me) is
at least 40 million gallons per day (mgd). In the Valley and
Ridge portion (257 mi2), the estimated ground-water resource
is at least 19 mgd from wells and springs.
