SCDNR is the agency responsible for developing the State Water Plan which focuses on ensuring groundwater availability for all future uses. Regional groundwater models in the Coastal Plain are needed to evaluate future water availability and to test water management strategies that will ensure future water needs can be met. The USGS has a long history of groundwater modeling in SC, have already developed a foundation for efficiently developing new regional groundwater models, and are in a unique position to complete the work in a manner consistent with SCDNR’s demanding schedule . Groundwater models are similar in several important ways to the surface water models developed for the eight planning basins in the state – both are used to evaluate water availability, both simulate the distribution of the water resources in the state, both depend on historic hydrologic and meteorologic data, and both require calibration.
