Introduction This web site describes the ongoing long-term ground-water level and chloride-monitoring program that the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts in cooperation with the City of Brunswick and Glynn County,Georgia. Included are descriptions of the routine program as well as selected scientific studies that are periodically conducted.  Brunswick chloride map  Monitoring network  What underlies Brunswick?  Project highlights  Brunswick Water Web site Glynn County Water-Information Network:  Real-time and historical water information  Water use in Glynn County, 2000   Project summary Since 1959, the USGS has conducted a cooperative water-resources investigative program at Brunswick. The program resulted from the noticeable impact of saltwater contamination in the Upper Floridan aquifer during the mid-1950's, and features well networks that continuously monitor ground-water levels and annually sample wells for chloride concentration. Additional investigations are conducted periodically in response to concerns by local government and interested partners. One current investigation features an inventory of existing wells completed in the Miocene upper and lower Brunswick aquifers as a prelude to investigating the potential of these aquifers for supplemental supply. Previously, a detailed evaluation of data collected from a deep test well on Colonels Island was conducted as part of the program.
