Land Surface System

P = Qdr + ET + Ws + R

Groundwater System

R = Wg + L + Qb

List of Budget Components (in inches per year)

  • Precipitation (P) = 45
  • Direct Runoff (Qdr) = 3.75
  • Base Flow (Qb) = 18.5
  • Evapotranspiration (ET) = 22.15
  • Leakage (L) = 0.27
  • Consumptive Water Use from Surface-Water withdraws (Ws) = 0.17
  • Consumptive Water Use from unconfined groundwater withdraws (Wg) = 0.17
  • Recharge to the Aquifer (R) = 18.94

Hydrology of the unconfined aquifer system, Mullica River basin, New Jersey, 1991-92

The Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, an unconfined aquifer system, is a major source of water in the Mullica River Basin in southern New Jersey. A water-level map was constructed from water levels measured in 197 wells and at 156 stream sites in the basin. Water levels in six observation wells were evaluated for seasonal fluctuations. The horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the...
