The Water Resources Authority of Jamaica (WRAJ) under the instruction of the Ministry of Water, Jamaica is the organization responsible for water resource management on the island of Jamaica. The management of these ground-water basins involves transmitting and storing varying portions of the area’s water supply by coordinating aquifer functions with surface facilities, e.g. reservoirs and pipelines, to meet the water requirements of the area. Water management and resource planning of the Rio Cobre and Rio Minho-Milk river basins should be optimally designed to use these elements to satisfy the physical demand for water. Transmission characteristics, fresh ground-water storage, and the basin’s storage capacity are significant elements of groundwater basins and water management resources. The results of this modeling study indicate that both the alluvial and White Limestone aquifers in these basins: 1) are hydraulically interdependent, 2) are recharged by common sources, and 3) have different Kx/Kz ratios, and 4) should be incorporated into a single water resources management plan.
