Politically, BACOG’s jurisdiction covers portions of four counties:

Over the past decade the public has become more and more aware of problems with water resources. This paper describes data querying and subsequent mapping techniques used to establish baseline conditions for groundwater resources. Well log data were queried using geographical information systems (GIS) to define the shallow aquifer system. The bedrock surface and overlying basal aquifer were defined. Aquicludes, aquitards and lesser aquifers overlying the basal aquifer were defined and their inter-relationships were established. A water budget was established to determine the amount of water in storage and identify the inflows and the outflows of water in the study area. A determination was made to establish if the area’s water storage capacity is in a net water loss, balanced, or net water gain mode. This information will be used to plan future water needs for growth
