     "text": "As part of the cooperative groundwater study between the USGS and Brunswick County, a network of monitoring-well sites with groundwater-level recorders was established at various locations in Brunswick County. A summary of the wells and their locations for monitoring water-level conditions in the surficial, Castle Hayne, Peedee, and Black Creek aquifers is provided in table 1. Groundwater levels at each well are measured at 15- or 60-minute intervals, and the measurements are logged by a data recorder. Data collection has been discontinued at some wells during the course of the study. For example, monitoring well BR-381 was drilled in November 2013 to replace well BR-123 in Calabash. Water-level monitoring in well BR-123 will be discontinued by December 31, 2014."

A growth of this magnitude places significant stress on Brunswick County\u2019s natural resources. County planners have recognized the potential consequences of land use changes associated with growth and the resulting increased demand on water resources by consolidating the many public utility providers into one organization and embarking on an aggressive utility expansion plan. In order to make informed water resource planning decisions, County officials need up-to-date water-resource information. To address concerns about the availability of groundwater in the Brunswick County area, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Brunswick County initiated a cooperative program in 1998 to monitor aquifer water-levels and chloride concentrations."
