Hydrogeology and simulated ground-water flow in the area of Greenwich Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey. Retrieved from https://doi.org/doi:10.7282/T39P3161
DescriptionThe ground water resources of the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system and overlying upper Cenozoic deposits are the principal source of water suppy in the area of Greenwich Township, Gloucester County. This report describes quantitative analysis of the ground-water system in the Greenwich Township area, including the development and application of a ground-water-flow model. It reports (1) a conceptual hydrogeologic model of the ground-water-flow system under predeveloped and developed conidtions, and (2) results of simulating the ground-water-flow system under recent (1986) developed conditions. The report includes maps that show the hydrogeologic framework and distribution of the transmissivity of aquifers and leakance properties of confining units, and describes ground-water-flow patterns and the interaction between ground-water and surface water systems. The report also defines the ground-water budget under developed conditions. The hydrogeologic data used to construct the ground-water-flow model were colelcted as part of the initial phase of the study, and include data on aquifer and confining-unit characteristics, and withdrawals and water levels in 1986.
