Summary

The Pee Dee and Cape Fear River Basins in North Carolina and South Carolina were chosen as a focus area study (FAS) for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Census (NWC) in 2016. The objective of the NWC is to place technical information and tools in the hands of stake holders so that they can make decisions on water availability. The USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center, comprised of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, conducted a 3-year study of water use and availability to provide information related to the competing societal and ecological water needs in the Southeastern Atlantic Coastal Basins of the Carolinas. One task to meet this objective was compiling water withdrawal and return data by category [...]

Purpose

The Coastal Carolinas Focus Area Study (CC FAS) will compile existing information, add new scientific data and interpretation, and develop tools to help address the current and future challenges that water managers and other stake holders face in the Atlantic Coastal Basins of the Carolinas. The study is divided into 5 main components: 1) Societal Water-Use Data Compilation and Refinement, 2) Land-Use, Population, Water-Use and Climate Change Scenarios, 3) Surface-Water Modeling, 4) Ecological Response Modeling, and 5) Groundwater Modeling. The intended uses of the wastewater-return data, by surface-water catchment area, are for inclusions in surface-water modeling activities in the Pee Dee and Cape Fear River Basins.
