EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLIES FOR THE ATLAKTA AREA lN A NATIONAL DISASTER J W Stewart and S M. Herrick 
The Need for Emergency 'Vater Supplies The Cuban cnsis was ~moth er remmder of the value of emergency "\Yfl.ter supphes durmg a nat10nal disaster, not onl:v m Georgia, but throughout t h e entire country Th is article IS presented as an aid to the thmkmg about an em ergency water supply for the Atlanta area m the event that t1 h e mu mcipal wa ter plant should be destroyed or r ende1ed unusable m the event of n nuclear explosion Suggestions also are given for obtammg small supplieR by indrviduals because it rs h1ghlv probable that we will need to r ely on our own resourcefulness to survrve. 'rhe human body can eXJst f or cons1det able penods of Lime on a h mtted food s upply but unfortunately man cannot h ve very long w1t ho ut <ater . Moreover food supphes suffiCient for a considerable peuod may he fl1 ored in a hmitecl space, but It would be a near Impossibility t o store enough water to supply an average f amily f or a month or so. Canned 01 bottled water is a s t op-gap m easure lashng at most for a few days or wcelu1, and nlthough essential for temporary smv1val, It m ay n<at be the answer to su rvi vmg the aftermat h of atomic war V\Fhat happens when the canned and bottled water is exhausted? Vile can expect t he watter supply t o give out lon g hef me em ergency food r ations ar e depleted SuJPpose the eme1gency lasts for month s and 1t is not safe to stay outside tln.e sh elter for long penods of time? \Vhere do we tu r n for add1bonal water? If the jA ttant a '-\raterwork" 1s desb'oyed or electnc po"er fails, eith er of wh1ch may happen, what Lhen? If the storage tanks are destroyed and t h e dlstnbu t ion system disrupted there would be no way to dehver waiter where it IS needed even if t he waten\orks were m t act . Moreover, t he JDO~Rthlh ty 1should be considered t hat a bla::,t rna} temporanly block off the flow of '1t h e Chattahoochee Rnrer and change the cour se of the nver a](Qng Rome stretches and 1t may t ake s ome time tu divert the water t o the plant. Emergency water supplies m ay be needed nCJ t only to keep u s ahve but also for fire fighting and washmg down contaminated areas u ntil such tune that the water plant IS placed back in operabon T h erefore, we are confront ed by a quest jon of paramount impor"t.:'lnce--<'...-"ln we afford to rely solely upon 1iver wat er heat ed and pumped at the wat erworks as om one and only supply? ObviOusly Lhe answer is K o 1 If most of the population Rurvhres a m1clear explos10n and t he water plant JS m operatrve, how soon ean we use Chattahoochee River water and how do we go about making the water rlrmlmble? We may assume that the nver w1ll become contaminated h} radtoacbvc pmtlr.leR becmu~ e 1t 1s i.li1edly expm;ed to f allout. Probably most of the fallout w11l be carried downstream by the n ver but the r ate at wh ir.h the conhmnnants leave the area depends ltugely upon Lhe stage a nd velocity of t h e ri ver That I S, the fwet parbdes m suspenswn will be earned further dowm~tream before settlmg, but as the velocity of the stream decreaRP-, the ~omser sednnent load IS deposited, and an} r aclwacbve materral absorbed hy th e sedimeilts m ay in t u ne build up to undesirable concent rations. T he m ateual may I emam m the n ve1 bed until such tune that t he river rises and the str eam bo ttom 1s scom ed. Another factor to be consu.le1 eLl IS t he tim e element wherem the radwachve matenals decay and eventually munv cease to be an 1mmechate hazard However, some radwad 1Ye elements such as stro nt m m 90, cesmm 137, and carbon 14 are long hved a n d would contmue to be a potential danger for many months and years

SOURCES OF EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLIES Wells 
Vlhat JS t he outlook for an emer gency supply of safe "ater for the Atlanta area? Where will we fwd the water? The answer-in it:he ground, or as rt IS commonly kn own, ground water. Th1s 1s water that h as Recped mto the g round f rom Huns and 1s stored m the rocks R amfall commg from an atmosphere that has "been contammat ed by n uclear-bomb fall out mav be unsafe for human con~mnptlon for a period of trme. Fortunately, ho~ever durmg Its JOurney downward m to the ground the co ntamma.ted water te~ do to become punhed as a result of the f ilter ing acti on t hrough many fee t of sand, sil t, and clay. The water may be found within a f ew feet of the Aurface tu a o much as se~eral h undred feet belmv land sul'face Water t h at occurs w1thm a foot or two of the surface i s likely to become contaminated wit h rad10actrve particles or 1t may have been polluted before t he blast. Y.le need t o go deep mto t he gxound and f ind water which 
IS not polluted and which \111 be safe to dxmk without treaLtmcnt The 
deep "\\ater is the best somce of emergency supphes because 1the chances of 1t becommg cont ammated are very remote, unl ess a lar1ge fracture fecdmg the well IS dir ectly connected with land surf ace 
An over abundance of waler may not be obtamed from some wells in the area hecuuse m any of the rocks are h ard and dense arud therefore 
do not lenrl t h emselves to stormg of large quantities of water. As a gen- 
eral r ule most well~ w1l! yield some water, a nd the yield of th ~e more produdive wells far out\\ e1ghs that of the poor pr oducing oneg JB~r planmng now wh ile the1e 1s shU t une, and bv making a geologic ~mdl hydrologic study of t he su u oundmg area. well s1tes could be s elected a1ld wells drilled in str at egic locatiOns t hrough out Atlanta and the out lymg vjcinit y Moreovei, a lm ge number of pnvately-owned wells and abandoned or unused rnumcrpal wells m the area could be mcluded m the propo~cd netwm k of supply wells 
In A Uunta wells sever al hundred feet deep m bmldmgs. designated as pubhc shelter areas m1ght qmckly r epay their cost m an emerge11cy Also, addilwnal -v.:ells dnlled at reg ular mtenals-one per 5 or 10 c1ty blocks- enclosed m protectJVe concrete shelters and operable without l eeinc power might also be comadered 
Springs Many springs thro ugh out t he Atlanta area could be utihzed as a supplemental water supply If adeq uately p10tected from f allout a nd pollutwn . The water from spnngs IS ground water which has f ound one or more opemngs m t he rocks and drscharges to the surface when the grnundwater reservoir IS filled. However, before a spring rs developed we must f1rst determ me the bactenologrcal quality of the water Vole m ust fmd out if the water 1s polluted and dange1ous to use If the w.?uter is polluted can rt be mad e safe to drink? It should be sh essed that v.; ater from a sprmg IS not necessm ily safe t o dnnk srmp!y because It IS clear, cool, and sparkling Contammatmg matenal may penetrate th r ough cracks and f issures an d poUute the water. Such pollution IS more apt to occur where houses, barns, sev1'e1s oepbc tanks are located on h igher gnhmd near a sprmg Therefore, rt IS good safety pra ct1ce t o have t h e spllng water tested by a bacteriologist before It is used fo r h uman cons um pt ion If plans are to m clude t h e use of spring "\Vater durmg am emergency

we m m:1t first Relect s prings whtch f low all year and t hen determine whether the water 18 safe to use The use of spr ings wh1ch flow only during ram y s ea.::mns (often r.alled wet-weather flprings ) should be avoided because t heir flow is unpredictable and the wa ler IS apt t o becom e polluted For those El-prmgs Belected, -provisions then shou ld be made to develop and protect the water from cm1tammation by people, ammal s, and rudioactn c fa11out The time to do t hts is now and not Inter when evel'y dr op of snfe water avmlahle wi11 be needed to survive 
The chemical quahty of the ground water throughout the atea, both f1om spnngs and wells, gene rally IS good. No m merals ax e present m the ground water m suffiCient quanbhes, with the exception of a few wells and spnngs which contam highl:r m meralized water, t ha t would be harm f ul to man over an extended perwd of tlme 
Very httle water otheL than that from sprmgs 0 1 th at which could be bail ed or pumped by hand from shallow wells would be available if t h e wells were not eqm pped with an auxllwry power s upply. H electuc po<er ''ere disrupt ed, ver y f ew, If any , d11l1ed wells would be usable because there would be no w ay to pump t he water The1efore, if an erne. gency water supply from wells IS consrdered plans tshouJ d nu.:lLtde the mstallahon of auxihary powei at select ed wells throughout the area. Moieover , It mrght be desuable t o msta1l the pumps, motor s, water t anks , and prpes below g1ou nd level for added protectiOn a~ramst an explos10n.

AVAILABLE W <\TER SUPPLIES Surpr1smg as it may seem to many Atlantans., a lar ge n umber of \vells are found m and a round the c1ty These mclude domestic, mdust ria] , mr-condib oning, subdiVISIOns, sch ool, mumcipal and abandoned municipal wells Generally 01peaking, the n um ber of wells in t he area has der1 eased during t he past 10 to 15 years as c1ly water has been m ade avmlable m outlymg areas Many towns an d s ubdnriswns that formel'ly obtamerl water f r om wells are now bed into s urfar.e-wate1' Ryst ems m1 d no longer usc groun d water Many of t hese m1 u:::cil wells still are available and wit h little expense could be made u sab le, b ut a large number have smce been destroyed The same t hi ng 1s t r ue of many mrlu stn al, domestic, and oth er wells in the a r ea By far the largest number of wells m the aTea are domestic wells, that IS, wells dnlled for household supphe" Industnal wells constitute the next largest group, followed by mu nicipal and subChviRion well s. Industrial wells generally are t he largest smgle producers because most in dus tries reqmre fairly Jarge \iolumes of water and the w ens usualJy are of lar ger dmmetm and deeper than domeshc and other wells Ho,vevet, because of t he la rge n umber of domP..~. br. well R m the surroundh1g area the com bined yield f r om t hese wells probably is greater t han that of any other group of wellA V\Fithm a 25-miJe radm s of Atlanta, wh1ch includes such out lymg t owns as Alpharetta, Lawren cev ille, Conyers, Jones bmo, Palmetto, Do ugla sville, and Kennesaw a large number of du g and drilled we11 s and r,ptmgs are available In the t ur al ru:eas the prevmlmg source of gr ound water for domestiC usc iR th e dug well. Th e total number of Clug wells m use h not kn ov.n but It is roughly propmbonal to the rural population. The n um ber of available dnlled wells , for aU p urposes, is estimat ed t o be about 800 t o 1,000, nearly half of wh1ch a1e m Fulton Count y, In case of powe1 fm lme all wells equipped with electnc mot ors would become useless unless an auxiliary sour ce of power was avmlablc. Probably the simples t m ethod of obtammg wa ter from wells m s uch an emeT genc~r would be Lu 1emove the pumps and mstall ordma1y s ud10n-1od hand pumps, F1gur e 1 shows the location of k no\Hl wells and spJingl:l w1Lhin u 25-m Jle radms of At1 anta.

Then too, we may not need as much -w a te.. as is bemg pumped fr om the nver tocby because the p ossibility exists that duung a nuclear explosiOn pa1t of the population may be -wiped out an d m any industnal p la nts usmg c1t y wa ter may be destroyed and ot h er s m ay cease to ope1ate du rmg t h e cnbcal pen od.

Throu g h necess1ty we may be f orced to install puvate watm supphes to su r vl\e. Needless t o say, our chances of surviva l are mcreased if we plan ahead for such emergencies Several competen t well dnllers aie avmlable m t he area an d any one desnmg mformatwn ab out t he cost of dnllmg wells should contact the dnllmg compames Such prepa1 ahons p1obably are worth cons1denng because c1tv water may not be avad able and when emer gency water ration s a1e depleted we wlll be on our own 
A s men huned previo usly, waler occu1 s m the g ruuud a t d1He1enl depths dependmg upon the topog raphy of the land Gener ally speakmg, t he upper or shallow water IS fou nd at depths of 10 t o 30 fee t belo"\\ g1ound smface t hrou g hout t h e area, pr oba bly less m some places more m others Therefore , m some ar ea s wells may be developed m t he sha1low water whereas m other areas It may b e necessary t o dnll m t o the underlymg rock before an adequate supply of \\ater 1s obta med. 
F r om t h e s tandpoint of a ccest:nbillty and protect ion agmnd fallout a. good loca t ion fo r a well IS in a basement. However, m any h ouses are buHt on h igh r 1dges and h illtops which ar e unfavorable Sites tu locat e a well because the ~.:hances uf i mdmg water generally me poor. Therefo1e, if a well IS to be dnlled some distance from a sheltered area the h igh ndges ohould be avo1ded m or der Lo tmptove the chance of fmUmg adeq ua te v. atei, ot hei wrse, t he well may be dry. The best s1t es for wells ate m lO \'v areas off ndges and h rlls whe re water h as moved m from high land and collected to form natural underground reserv01rs . Howe ~e r, caution should be used to av01d locatm p; wells nea1 areas subJect to cont ammabon such as f lood channels, a llu vial g:I avels, and sulface tock f ractmes 
For the ma]ouly of people whu _p10balJly \Hll "\ul.it unbl the last rmnute Lo pr epare f or an emergency a well may be dug by hand p1ovrded that the water level JS close to land surface ami occurs in decayed, weat h et ed matenal and Lhe necestsary tools ~ue av:ulable to dig and develop a well. If a per son wishes to constr uct a well m the basement of hJS house certam eqmpment will be needed. Tools n ecessar y for diggmg such a well s hould include a hand a uger a nd 5 or 6 exb:a 5-foot sections of ptpe, pJCk, shovel, a 20- to 30-f oot length of 114, -mch plasbc p1pe, and a pitcher, 0 1 hand pump In some at eas It might be possible to dnve a well pomt m t o the ground wit h out augermg provided that ha1d r ock IS not encountered before stnkmg water. Wtth etthet of the above method s the chances ate rmpt oved but not defm1tely assured that ample wa ter could be obtamed to supply one or more f amilies. 
\Ve can rJl affo rd to "mt unbl disaster strikes befOi e seekmg an emergency water supply. To do so IS t o mv1te chaos. It would be rromc to SLU vi ve an attack only to pensh because of a lack of water, especially when Natu re has provided us <Ith an abundant and prec10us supply of safe undergtound wate1. The w ater IS available but we must develop the r esou1ce before It can do us any good Th e possibility of a n ucl ear attack exJst s and we are f aced wtt h the fact that It may occur at any hme. Ther el ore, emergency water supphes should be mcluded m t he overall plan because the stakes are high and for keeps-man's survival!
