watershed encompasses segments of 3 Georgia
counties. Currently, there are 29 groundwater permits issued for agricultural
use in the Georgia
portion of the Lower Ochlockonee watershed. In
aggregate, these permits allow groundwater to be pumped at a rate of 17,655
gallons per minute. Similarly, 64 surface water permits are dispersed
throughout the watershed. In total, these permits allow surface water to be
pumped at a rate of 55,850 gallons per minute. Together, agricultural groundwater and
surface water permits in the Lower Ochlockonee watershed authorize total freshwater
withdrawals at a rate of 73,505 gallons per minute. This figure ranks 27th
highest out of the 51 watersheds for which data was available at the time of this
study. For information regarding the
