South Carolina Water-Resources Projects

The South Carolina Water Science Center conducts hydrologic projects that address a wide variety of water-resources issues, including water supply, groundwater contamination, nutrient loading in streams, effects of land use on water quality, and basic hydrologic data collection. This page lists the major projects currently underway.

Surface Water Projects

Studies involving water on the land surface.

• Establishment of a Hurricane Storm Tide Network for South Carolina
• Stormwater Runoff—BMPs
• Live Bed Scour
• Techniques for Estimating Magnitude and Frequency of Floods for Rural Basins in South Carolina
• Calibration of the Maryland Abutment-Scour Equation Using a Modified Critical Velocity
• Hydrology Monitoring Network: Data Mining and Modeling to Separate Human and Natural Hydrologic Dynamics
• Collection and Interpretation of Near Real-Time Surface-Water Quality and Flow Data at Selected Sites in the Waccamaw and Pee Dee River Basins

Groundwater Projects

Studies involving water below ground and in aquifers.

• Simulation of Reclaimed-Water Injection and Pumping Scenarios and Particle-Tracking Analysis near Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
• Development and Application of a Groundwater Flow and Management Model of the Chesterfield County Region
• Groundwater Availability of the Atlantic Coastal Plain Aquifers of North and South Carolina
• Phytoremediation of PAH-Contaminated Groundwater
• Application of Phreatophytes to Remediate Contaminated Groundwater
• Catawba-Wateree Groundwater Network

Water Quality Projects

Studies involving water contamination and pollution.

• Development Of A User's Guide To The Use Of Tree Coring As A Tool To Examine Subsurface Volatile Organic Compounds
• Influence of subsurface drains on contaminant source and fate, Site 45, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina
• Natural and Enhanced Remediation of Fuel Oxygenates and Gasoline
• TOXIC Substances Hydrology Field Investigation
