Water demands in Connecticut are met by the conjunctive use of ground water and surface water. These water resources are abundant, but they are not uniformly distributed and they are not always near demand centers. Groundwater sources supply 12 percent of the total freshwater demand and about onethird of the State's approximately 3.2 million people. Of the total quantity of ground water used in 1985, 46 percent was for public supply, 27 percent was for rural domestic supplies, 18 percent was for self-supplied industrial and commercial establishments, and 9 percent was for agriculture and thermoelectric power generation (unpublished water-use data on file at the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, Hartford, Conn.). About 250,000 wells supply this ground water, 1,500 of which are public-supply wells. The major issues related to ground water in Connecticut are: Effects of land use on water quality, Allocation of water resources among competing uses, and Contamination by hazardous wastes and agricultural chemicals.
