Saltwater Intrusion and Sea Level Rise Monitoring in New Jersey
Frequently, water withdrawals for public supply are made from the freshwater reaches of rivers and streams across new Jersey. Overall, there is a lack of scientific information describing the movement of saltwater upstream into the tributaries discharging into Delaware Bay. This project is beginning to collect water quality data along three selected tributaries in New Jersey to Delaware Bay in an...
New Jersey Ambient Surface-Water-Quality Monitoring Network
The USGS New Jersey Water Science Center, in cooperation with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), New Jersey Water Supply Authority, and the Delaware River Basin Commission, maintain the New Jersey Ambient Surface-Water-Quality Monitoring Network (ASWQMN) — a collection of monitoring stations on streams throughout New Jersey. Constituent concentration data from the ASWQMN are...
Coastal Plain Aquifer Synoptic - Chloride Network
Chloride concentrations in groundwater are measured in select wells on a 5-year cycle, as an early warning indicator of saltwater intrusion, and for the definition of the 250 mg/L chloride concentration line within the principal aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain.
Particulate and Salt Distribution in the Harrison Reach of the Passaic River
As a result of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Toxic Sediment Reduction Program, contaminated sediment in the Lower Passaic River has been identified as being an environmental problem that will require a substantial investment in a clean-up program. To aid in assessing the impact of proposed dredging of contaminated sediments from the Passaic River, the US Geological Survey...
