In a recent presentation to the Jefferson County Commission, Mark Kozar, a hydrologist from the U.S. Geological Survey, highlighted plans to develop a predictive software model aimed at assessing the sustainability of the water supply in the area. This initiative seeks to analyze the underground water resources available to support ongoing and future residential and commercial developments, particularly important for towns like Charles Town and Ranson as they continue to grow. The model underscores the finite nature of water resources and the need for careful management to meet the rising demands of local communities, as reported by The Spirit of Jefferson.
