Ground-water resources of the middle Chattahoochee River basin in Georgia and Alabama, and upper Flint River basin in Georgia - Subarea 2 of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa river basins

Abstract

The error occurs in table 7. Station number 02341070 Mulberry Creek at State Route 85, near Waverly Hall, Ga. The drainage area of 123 square miles is incorrect the correct drainage area is 12.3 square miles. The unit-area discharge is still correct as shown (zero cubic feet per second per square mile), because the measured stream discharge on the indicated day (10-21-54) was zero cubic feet per second. Because the measured stream discharge was zero, the stream discharge exiting the Chartahoochee River basin in Subarea 2 (shown as 679 cubic feet per second, on page 31) also is still correct. We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Estimated use of water in Alabama in 2005

“…Ground water from the relatively unconsolidated Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments underlying the Coastal Plain (DeJarnette, 1989;Chapman and Peck, 1997;Mayer, 1997) is the source of public supply for most southeastern Alabama communities, including Andalusia and Dothan; however, some surface water is used for aquaculture, industry (Conecuh River), irrigation, livestock, and mining. The cities of Opelika, Phenix City, Smiths, and the East Alabama Water, Sewer and Fire Protection District, which serves Chambers County, withdraw water from the Chattahoochee River.…”
