- Abstract:
-
The Upper Maurice River study area boundary (wri924128wlmap_bndry, polygon), includes the outlines of parts of the basins of Maurice River, Great Egg Harbor River, Oldmans Creek, Mantua Creek, Raccoon Creek, Big Timber Creek, Little Ease Run, and Scotland Run, and includes parts of the New Jersey counties of Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem. The basin delineations were developed at the 1:24,000 scale (7.5-minute USGS quadrangles). The study area boundary is the same as that for which the water-level information and interpretation are presented in Lacombe and Rosman (1995) and the horizontal datum is NAD 83.
The study area boundary is one of four data layers used to present water-level information for the Upper Maurice River study. The four geographic data layers were developed at a scale of 1:24,000, and consist of; (1) the study area boundary (wri924128wlmap_bndry, polygon), (2) water-levels from wells (wri924128wlmap_gwpts, points), (3) water-levels from streams (wri924128wlmap_stmpts, points), and (4) an interpretive water-table contour map (wri924128wlmap_wlcont, lines).
The water-level information represents one part (sheet 2 of 5) of a comprehensive report on the hydrology of the unconfined aquifer system of the Upper Maurice River study area. The other four sheets of this report are not available in geographic data layer form, but they can be downloaded in PDF format from the complete original report cited herein. The other four sheets comprise information on (1) the hydrogeology and description of the study area, (2) stream discharge and climate data, (3) water quality, and (4) a detailed water-use and water-budget analysis.
The digital data sets that support unconfined-aquifer water-levels and interpretations for the Upper Maurice River study area are derived from one of nine hard copy published reports which contain similar data and information across other areas of southern New Jersey. Digital data sets for the unconfined-aquifer water-level and interpretive portions from all nine reports are being simultaneously released, motivated by development of an interactive web-viewer tool that enables convenient online viewing of the information (http://nj.usgs.gov/special/web_mapper/). Eight of the nine published reports are from a comprehensive unconfined-aquifer study series; Great Egg Harbor River (Watt and Johnson, 1992), Toms River (Watt and others, 1994), Upper Maurice River (Lacombe and Rosman, 1995), Mullica River (Johnson and Watt, 1996), Salem River (Johnson and Charles, 1997), Maurice River (Charles and others, 2001), Rancocas Creek (Watt and others, 2002), and Atlantic Coastal (Gordon, 2004). The ninth report that contains unconfined-aquifer water-level data and an interpretation is from a comprehensive water-resource study in Cape May County (Spitz, 1998, Lacombe and Carleton, 2002).
- Purpose:
-
The boundary for the Upper Maurice River study delineates the area of interest in which the depth to water, altitude of the water table, gradients, and direction of groundwater flow within the unconfined aquifer system were examined. Delineation of the study area was done 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.
