Abstract
The Lake Lanier Regional Source Water
Assessment Plan (SWAP) was developed with the
overall goal of identifying potential risks to the integrity
of surface drinking water sources in the Basin. Point
and nonpoint potential contaminant sources were identified
and assessed for thirteen existing and new municipal
drinking water intakes. The majority of intakes
received a low score for point source susceptibility and
medium score for nonpoint source susceptibility.
Methodologies were developed maximizing information
technology capabilities. A systematic field survey was
conducted to verify and accurately map contaminant
source locations. An automated susceptibility analysis
was created that can be easily updated by utility managers.
Interactive watershed maps were also developed
to track project progress and for use in longrange
source water protection planning.
