 Developing Water Resource Baseline Conditions for Planning Track: Water Resources Author(s): Janet Agnoletti, Kurt Thomsen, Joel Peters The Barrington Area Council of Governments (BACOG) is studying groundwater resources in the region for the purpose of establishing groundwater conditions and baseline data and to develop policy recommendations for sustainable development. By analyzing data layers in GIS including subsurface bedrock, groundwater wells, wetlands, watersheds, soils, land use, zoning, water consumption, and population, BACOG will describe existing groundwater resources, posit the relationship of groundwater to surface waters, project the development and population growth that will occur in the region to build-out, analyze the sustainability of that development by existing groundwater resources, and provide recommendations to governments for protecting sensitive environments and aquifer recharge areas along with public education/conservation programs. The paper will focus on the local planning framework for conducting this research and strategies and methodologies for data collection and analysis.
