The conclusion of this research is that regional ponds with horizontal wells can be used as a source of water for irrigation. This research is significant because the use of stormwater from regional ponds will reduce the amount of surface discharge pollutants from the ponds, and provide for an alternative water supply, that can be used for irrigation. Decreasing the quantity of water pollutants discharging into receiving waters will help meet total maximum daily load (TMDL) limits as well as lower the cost of maintenance of highway vegetation.
