dc.description.abstractThe most important source for ground water in the Central Passaic River Basin in northeastern New Jersey is the valley-fill aquifer system. A century of pumpage has lowered water levels significantly in this system. Near the center of greatest pumpage, piezometric ground-water levels have fallen an estimated 80 feet since 1890. Observation wells away from the pumping centers show a regional lowering of water levels. This report provides the basic data on pumpage locations and volumes for 238 industrial and municipal wells and well fields. Water levels from 47 observation wells are also shown. These data are needed for ongoing work to interpret ground-water conditions and predict the effects of current and future pumpage on ground-water levels.en_US
