Abstract
Description
The potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer and its updip clastic equivalent, the Tertiary sand aquifer, shows a generally southeastward ground-water flow affected by several potentiometric depressions. These cones of depression have developed because of ground-water pumping at Summerville, North Charleston, Walterboro, and Eutawville. Water levels in Jasper and Beaufort Counties continue to be affected by pumping in the Savannah, Ga. area. Comparing the 2004 data with historical data shows that water levels near the northwest outcrop areas have declined and near the northeast show inconsistent trends. In areas influenced by pumping, water levels have declined as much as 35 feet between 1998 and 2004.
