Located on the
Georgia-Florida state line, the Apalachicola watershed encompasses
segments of only 1 Georgia
county. Currently, there are 11 groundwater permits issued in Georgia
for agricultural use in the Apalachicola watershed. In
aggregate, these permits allow groundwater to be pumped at a rate of 11,300
gallons per minute. Similarly, 4 surface water permits are dispersed throughout
the Georgia
portion of the watershed. In total, these permits allow surface water to be
pumped at a rate of 7,300 gallons per minute. Together, Georgia agricultural groundwater and surface water
permits in the Apalachicola watershed authorize total freshwater
withdrawals at a rate of 18,600 gallons per minute. This figure ranks 37th
highest out of the 51 watersheds for which data was available at the time of this
study. For information regarding the
percentages for which this watershed’s agricultural water permits are either
over or under allocated, click here.
