Simulation of Projected Water Demand and Ground-Water Levels in the Coffee Sandand Eutaw-McShan Aquifers in Union County, Mississippi, 2010 through 2050

摘要

Ground water from the Eutaw-McShan and the Coffee Sand aquifers is the majorsource of supply for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes in Union County, Mississippi. Unbiased, scientifically sound data and assessments are needed to assist agencies in better understanding and managing available water resources as continuing development and growth places more stress on available resources. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Tennessee Valley Authority, conducted an investigation using water-demand and ground-water models to evaluate the effect of future water demand on ground-water levels.
