Hydrogeology and Migration of Septic-Tank Effluent in the Surficial AquiferSystem in the Northern Midlands Area, Palm Beach County, Florida

摘要

The report describes the lithology of the uppermost part of the surficial aquifersystem, identifies preresidential development ground-water quality characteristics, provides a water-table map of the northern Midlands, and describes septic-tank effluent migration (vertical and horizontal) at three test sites in the northern Midlands. The study results presented in this report also increase the data base of predevelopment hydrogeologic and water-quality data for the area.
