Availability of Water from Stratified-Drift Aquifers in the Farmington River Valley, Simsbury, Connecticut

摘要

The report describes the extent, lithology, and hydrogeologic characteristics of the stratified drift in parts of the Farmington River valley and the Bissell, Hop, and Stratton Brook drainage basins within Simsbury; identifies where hydrogeologic conditions are most favorable for additional development of large quantities of ground water from stratified drift; and estimates how much ground water can be withdrawn on a sustained basis at these locations. No attempt has been made to investigate the quality of water in the stratified drift or in the streams that are hydraulically connected to these deposits. Some useful water-quality data, however, are contained in previous studies.
