Abstract
This paper summarizes the alternative
water supply analysis performed as part of EPD's
Sound Science Initiative for the 24-county coastal
region of Georgia. The work included assessing surface
water supplies, off-main stem surface
water impoundments, and wastewater effluent reuse as
sources of water in the 24-county area These were
evaluated as alternative water supplies to offset current Upper Floridan Aquifer withdrawals and to help alleviate the saltwater intrusion problem at Hilton
Head, South Carolina and Brunswick, Georgia. The
presentation will describe the evaluation process, which included using ArcView, a geographic information
system (GIS) developed by ESRI, to help analyze the
data and rank the alternatives.
