Water Supply and Use, Dalton Lake, Georgia
Abstract
Water supply and use in the Coosa River Basin, Georgia are examined to assess the availability of alternative supplies to the proposed Dalton Lake reservoir project. Streamflow records at 21 gage locations are analyzed to assess the availability of surface water. Withdrawal and discharge records at 364 locations throughout the basin are analyzed to determine water use. To show the relationship between supply and use, the basin is divided into ten hydrologic sub-units and data presented in a water balance. A detailed analysis is presented of the impact of withdrawing 51 MGD from the Coosawattee River near Carters and the role of Carters Reservoir on downstream releases. The above analyses were done using microcomputer hardware and software which greatly facilitated the computations and graphics, and which makes available, on diskettes, the supply and use data for future analyses.
