By New Jersey Water Science Center
November 7, 2018
The USGS New Jersey Water Science Center conducts research and investigations related to topics such as groundwater and surface-water quality related to anthropogenic and agricultural activities, hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, tracking the movement of groundwater contamination, groundwater resource assessments and modeling, ecological assessments and response to urbanization, and estimating water-use for human and ecological needs. The research and investigations provide the scientific knowledge that engineers, planners and managers can used to make informed water-resources decisions.

Future Water Supply for Cape May County
Use of the potable and ecological water supply of Cape May County has exceeded the safe yield of the groundwater and surface water in an undesirable number of areas of peninsular Cape May. Depressed water levels and salt-water supply has significantly withdrawal, and anthropogenic contamination of the groundwater supply has significantly reduced the long-term viability of the supply. The goal of...
Aquifer Flow and Chemistry
Water-quality problems (radium, mercury) in southern NJ in the unconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer increase needs for high quality water from confined aquifers. The installation of borehole and observation wells throughout Southern NJ provides opportunity to study the chemical evolution of water in both aquifers and confining units.
Analysis of interactions between groundwater and surface-water in the Ramapo River
Competition for new water allocations and efforts to protect existing diversion rights have become contentious issued in the Ramapo River Basin.
Investigation of Groundwater Conditions and Related Potential Threats to Water Supply and Surface-Water Resources in the Atlantic Coastal Watersheds of South-Central New Jersey
Anticipated growth in the coastal watersheds of Ocean County, New Jersey has heightened concerns about the future availability of water supply and potential effects of human activities on fluvial and estuarine resources. The overall objectives for the project are to develop an improved hydrologic database and analytical tools for resource management and to apply these tools to improve the present...
Toxics Hydrology Program - Unsaturated Zone Processes and Shallow Groundwater Quality
The Unsaturated Zone is a critical, yet poorly-understood part of the hydrologic cycle. Although it controls the flux of water and chemicals between land surface and the water table, the data necessary to evaluate transport, storage, and reactions occurring within the unsaturated zone are not routinely collected. The unsaturated zone, although often considered a black box, is a fundamental part of...
