Ground-Water Conditions in Georgia, 1999

USGS Open-File Report 00-515

Upper Floridan aquifer

Brunswick area

The water level in the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Brunswick area was monitored in 13 wells in 1999 and data from 11 of these wells are available as PDF files, accessible by clicking on the well number in the map below or from Table 3b. In this area, water levels in wells tapping this aquifer are mainly affected by industrial pumping. Water levels in all wells showed a strong response to the decrease in pumping during the coastal evacuation for the passage of Hurricane Floyd. In the Brunswick area, the Upper Floridan aquifer includes two freshwater-bearing zones, the upper water-bearing zone and the lower water-bearing zone.
