The water-levels from wells data for the Cape May study includes groundwater levels, and related site and well construction information that were compiled, along with water levels measured in streams, to construct a water-table contour map. The water-table contour map can be used to provide an interpretive assessment of depth to water, water-table altitude, water-table gradients, and the direction of groundwater flow within the unconfined aquifer system. The study was performed in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for their purpose of developing a scientific basis to help address environmental, water-resource management and planning, water availability, water use, and water quality questions.
