| Description: | This report on the groundwater resources of the Coastal Plain area of Pennsylvania has multiple plates with maps or diagrams of the relevant part of Bucks County or Philadelphia County. These include isopach and structure contour maps of members of the Late Cretaceous Raritan Formation; maps showing variations of sulfate and dissolved mineral concentrations in water from the Farrington sand of the Raritan Formation; fence diagrams of subsurface stratigraphy; structure contour maps of the bedrock surface; well-location maps; maps showing the extent of the artesian system; and cross sections showing the probable direction of groundwater movement near the junction of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. The text includes well records, results of chemical analyses, and formation descriptions. The effects of human activities on water resources are discussed in detail. |
