Hydrology in TaylorsThe waterways of Taylors collect in the Enoree River. The Enoree River connects to the Broad river as part of the Broad subbasin. This subbasin continues as part of the Santee water basin, which flows from Georgia to the Atlantic. Taylors is under the Greenville County Water sys-tems. The water for the residents is pumped from one of three reservoirs in Table Rock, Poinsett, or Lake Ke-owee. The water comes from the Saluda subbasin, the one next to the Broad subbasin. The Saluda subbasin is also in the Santee water basin.

Soils
Geology Climate + Preciptation
DescriptionLoam soil is a mix of sand, silt, and clay in varying proportions. The area of Taylors is made up of predominately of sandy loam soils. These include appling sandy loam, cecil sandy loam, cecil very coarse sandy loam, cecil sandy clay loam, and congaree fine sandy loam. Typically these soils have good drainage and are nutrient rich. They are also typically easy to till and work with during construction. Sandy loam soils are considered ideal soils to develop on because it maintains size and consistency when wet or dry. This allows it to hold and stabilize foundations and hardscape in place.
CompostionGreenville County lies on top of the Paris Mountain and Six Mile thrust sheets. These consist of predominately medium to high grade metamorphic rock. In the Taylors area the dominant rock type is biotite gneiss. Thin sheets of hornblende gneiss and amphibolite are also dispersed within the biotite gneiss. This rock can be used as a building rock and rarely splits or breaks despite its foliated appearance.
AnalysisThe above bar graph represents the average of highs and lows for each month. The area of Taylors experiences all four seasons throughout the year. Average winter temperature ranges from 40-50 degrees and the average summer temperature ranges from 70-90 degrees making it a relatively comfortable place to be any time of the year. The above line graph represents average inches of rainfall per month. Taylors typically has more frequent and heavy rainfall (3.5 inches and up) from February-March and June-August than any other months in the year.

PreservationIt should also be noted that Greenville has granitic domes as well as granatic flatrock. Granatic domes are conglomerates of igneous rock which form below the surface. During a mountain building event (ex. earthquake or volcano) the mass is exposed. The lower pressure allows the mass to expand and as it then erodes the dome shape is formed. Currently these rock forms are at moderate risk of vulnerability on both the global and state levels. Granatic flatrocks are exfoliated and gently sloping granite outcrops. An outcrop is an exposed deposit of rock. Granatic flatrocks are a substantial part of soil formation in the Taylors region. Currently granatic flatrocks are at moderate risk of vulnerability on a global scale, but are at high risk of vulnerability on a state level. Precautions should be taken to preserve these during planning and construction.
