Determination of the Contributing Area to Six Municipal Ground-Water Supplies inthe Tug Hill Glacial Aquifer of Northern New York, with Emphasis on the Lacona-Sandy Creek Well Field

摘要

The report provides information on the ground-water supply to six municipalities(Adams, Mannsville, Lacona-Sandy Creek, Pulaski, Orwell, and Camden) that have developed supplies in the Tug Hill aquifer. It discusses the hydrogeologic conditions of the aquifer and probable sources of recharge to each well field and gives a detailed analysis of the contributing area to Lacona-Sandy Creek well field to demonstrate and evaluate three delineation techniques--two analytical methods and a two-dimensional numerical finite-difference model. Maps depict the estimated contributing area to each water supply.
