GROUND WATER RECHARGE POTENTIAL OF FRESH WATER WETLANDS ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND. SOUTH CAROLINA

Subject
 Groundwater--South Carolina--Hilton Head Island; Wetland restoration--South Carolina--Hilton Head Island 
Abstract
Fresh water wetlands on Hilton Head Island have experienced significant degradation over the past few decades. Fifty per cent of the original fresh water wetlands on the island have been either completely destroyed or significantly altered. This fact, plus the declining water levels experienced periodically, have caused much concern over the importance of the wetlands. A major question concerned the role of the wetlands in the recharge of the local ground water aquifer. The present study was undertaken in order to evaluate the potential of the wetlands for water table recharge.
