Abstract

Cover. Photograph showing the application of water to a sandy field by a centerpoint irrigation system on October 22, 2014, east of Montmorenci, South Carolina. The irrigation water comes from either groundwater or surface water that contains groundwater discharge. The demand for irrigation water increased during the study period in Aiken County, South Carolina, and the increased demand is expected to continue. Photograph by James E.
