Abstract
This paper presents the current status of a
combined monitoring and modeling program to estimate
agricultural water use across the entire state of Georgia. This
program is called AG. WATER PUMPING (Agricultural
Water: Potential Use and Management Program in
Georgia). Current conflicts on water allocation in the ACT
(Alabama, Coosa, and Talapoosa) and ACF (Apalachicola,
Flint, and Chattahoochee) river basins, saltwater intrusion
effects in the 24 county area of southeast Georgia and other
potential impacts on water use are all limited by the lack of
available information on agricultural water use. This 5-year
project is at the mid-point in it's development and is expected
to provide comprehensive data starting in 2001. Preliminary
results are presented for the partial monitoring installation in
calendar year 2000.
