The Georgia Planning Act requires that land-use ordinances be made in an attempt to protect
ground water, and be passed and enforced by local governments having jurisdiction over
significant groundwater recharge areas. Within significant recharge areas, the relative
degree of protection required is further defined on the basis of whether the area has high
pollution susceptibility. |
