The "mining" of groundwater by excessive withdrawals has caused a newregulation in eastern North Carolina mandating reductions in groundwaterwithdrawal. This regulation sets new ground by not only capping withdrawals,but actually mandating dramatic reductions up to 75% of capacity and explicitlyaddressing the benefits of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) by allowing the storage filling step to creditagainst a utility's groundwater withdrawals.This paper presents a case study of a utility that is pursuing conjunctive use ofgroundwater and surface water supplies and possible future ASR application forincreased capacity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Conjunctive use ofdifferent quality supplies requires considerations of water quality issues such asblending, corrosion control, and disinfection byproduct control. These issues areevaluated and presented along with capacity, reliability, and cost-effectivenessfindings. Includes figures.
