Chloride Distribution Evaluation

Started:  3rd Quarter 1999 
Completed: 1st Quarter 2007

Brief description:

An evaluation of the distribution of chloride concentration within the Lower Savannah River is being conducted, including field data gathering, adaptation of the EFDC model being developed for hydrodynamic and salinity predictions, and simulation of future conditions utilizing the EFDC model variant. The goal is to determine the potential for increases in salinity intrusion to cause an associated increase in the chloride concentrations at the City’s raw water intake.
