Geospatial data representing wells open to, and 2013 potentiometric-surface contours of, the confined aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 17, 2025 | Last Modified: 20210205
This dataset contains the well location, construction information, and water-level measurements for 983 wells measured during a groundwater-level synoptic of 10 confined aquifers of the New Jersey coastal plain and water-level measurements for 5 wells in 2 confined aquifers of the Delaware coastal plain. Groundwater-level measurements were made from October 2013 to January 2014. Well-location and water-level data is publicly available from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System (NWIS). Groundwater-level measurements were used to construct the potentiometric surface contours of the confined Cohansey, RioGrande, Atlantic City 800-ft Sand, Piney Point, Vincentown, Wenonah-Mount Laurel, Englishtown, and Upper, Middle and Lower Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifers.
