Geohydrology and Water Quality of Stratified-Drift Aquifers in the Exeter, Lamprey, and Oyster River Basins, Southeastern New Hampshire

摘要

The report describes the hydrologic and geologic characteristics of the stratified-drift aquifers within the study area, including areal extent of the stratified-drift aquifers, ground-water levels, general directions of ground water flow, saturated thicknesses, and transmissivities; present a technique for evaluating the hydrologic impact of ground-water development, and assess the quality of the ground water in stratified-drift aquifers. The study was generally limited to the collection, compilation, and evaluation of data from the stratified-drift aquifers in the study area. Two of the aquifers, West Epping and Newmarket Plains, were evaluated with a superposition modeling technique to illustrate how this method can be used to evaluate aquifer yields and estimate the configuration of contributing areas after 180 days of pumping.
