Storativity

The role of storativity in production of water from the artesian portion of the Floridan aquifer in Georgia was examined from three standpoints: Expected change in water and aquifer volume under the observed historic pressure change, storage coefficients derived from historic production and observed aquifer pressure change, and the change in aquifer volume required to supply historic water production.
