Saltwater Encroachment Study, Progress Energy Crystal River Power Plant

Location: Crystal River, Citrus County, Florida
Client: Water Resource Associates, Inc. for Progress Energy
Project type:

Conducted an evaluation of the Progress Energy water supply wellfields to determine the cause of increasing salinity and other water quality issues.  Evaluated geophysical logs, lithologic logs, aquifer pumping tests, and conducted groundwater flow modeling to predict impacts based on current yields and well capacities.  The water supply wellfield is configured in a linear direction perpendicular to the coast,  and is located within close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. WellExhibitVariation2
