SUMMARY:GSJ: Georgia Water Wars\, Pt 2 - Georgia's Groundwater
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Water Wars—Conflicts over our most precious resource\, Part 2—Groundwater  \nThurs\, Feb 26th\, 7-8:30 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nStream it here :  \nLocation: Manuel’s Tavern\, 602 N Highland Ave NE\, Atlanta\, GA 30307 \nFeatured Speaker: John Clarke \nJoin John Clarke for the second in our Georgia Water Wars series. Water usage is becoming a very pressing issue as Atlanta keeps growing and more data centers and cryptomines that use millions of galleons per day are built all over Georgia. We need that water for agriculture\, industry and everyday public uses. \nWater is the lifeblood of our planet. Throughout history to the present day\, wars have been waged over this precious resource\, and Georgia is no exception. The presentation will provide an overview of conflicts over groundwater resources of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina\, Alabama\, and Florida. This includes saltwater intrusion along the coast\, the Okefenokee Swamp\, groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site\, and effects of agricultural pumping on streamflow in the Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin. \n  \nIf you missed part one\, you can view the YouTube recording below to catch up. This talk will somewhat reference the previous talk but it will not be needed to understand. \n \nSpeaker Name: John Clarke\, Retired Assistant Director\, USGS Georgia Water Science Center\, Atlanta\, Georgia \nSpeaker Bio: John Clarke retired in January 2014 after a 35-year career with the USGS Georgia Water Science Center. As hydrologist and Assistant Director for Hydrologic Investigations\, he authored or co-authored more than 50 papers on Georgia groundwater and twice served as president of the Georgia Ground Water Association. Notable project work included study of the potential for offsite migration of contaminants at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site; development of a hydrologic overview of Israel\, Jordan\, and Palestinian territories as part of the State Department’s ongoing peace initiative; and design and implementation of the Georgia Coastal Sound Science Initiative—a 7 ½-year\, $14.5 million set of projects commissioned by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to assess coastal area groundwater resources and address issues of salt-water intrusion and resource sustainability. John is a certified groundwater professional and received a BS Degree in Earth Sciences from the State University of New York at Brockport. \nGeorgia Science Junction
