Abstract
This project studied the effects of potential changes in the frequency and magnitude of salt-water intrusion events under forecasted climatic and sea level conditions on stakeholders in the Pee Dee and the Lower Savannah River basins of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. This information can be used to assess the potential impacts of global climate change on salt-water inundation of the water intakes of coastal utilities. Tailored collaboration partner: Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority. Published in 2012.
