Initial groundwater management plan for the Western Capacity Use Area

Abstract

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Board declared the whole of Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Lexington, and Orangeburg counties as the Western Capacity Use Area. The WCUA Groundwater Management Plan will guide the initial groundwater management strategy and provide direction for future groundwater management goals by evaluating, as data become available, the hydrologic, environmental, social, and economic impacts of groundwater withdrawals on long-term sustainable levels for WCUA aquifers.
