The series of surficial aquifer studies were completed to evaluate the unconfined aquifer system of the NJ Coastal Plain for use as a potential source of water. As the demand for water in the State increases and the restrictions continue on the use of water from certain confined aquifers, withdrawals on the unconfined aquifer system are expected to increase. Detailed study of the unconfined...

Ground water is an important source of water supply and has a critical role in maintaining the health of aquatic freshwater and estuarine ecosystems in the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Coastal drainage basins of southeast New Jersey, including the Lower Maurice River and Cohansey Rive. In the coming years, the need for water supply is expected to grow and the priority of maintaining dependent...

The study examines the structure and function of the hydrologic system supporting Pinelands aquatic and wetland communities and the hydrologic and ecological response to groundwater-withdrawal stress. USGS components of the study focus on various aspects of the hydrologic system that controls groundwater and surface-water flow, depth of water in wetlands, and interactions between the groundwater...

Results of recent investigations indicate that certain pharmaceutical compounds and their metabolites are frequently detected in the aquatic environment and that concentrations are greatest in areas of dense population and in streams whose flow is composed partly of effluent from wastewater-treatment facilities. USGS personnel together with NJDEP staff scientists will select surface- and...

The development of groundwater in the New Jersey Coastal Plain has occurred primarily near large population centers, creating large regional cones of depression in several of the New Jersey Coastal Plain aquifers. Continued decline of water levels in the confined aquifers poses the threat of serious adverse effects to the water supply in some areas, including the depletion of groundwater supplies...

NAWQA is a program from the USGS that addresses the goals of that status of surface-water and groundwater, provide understanding of human impact, and to support local, state, and federal agencies with aforementioned data.

NJDEP, in cooperation with the Passaic TMDL Work Group, has determined that riverine water quality modeling of phosphorus and nitrogen in the Passaic River basin will be required to support several TMDL efforts underway. Water quality in the Passaic River basin is affected by complex river system hydraulics, groundwater-surface water interactions, non-point source runoff from mixed land uses and...
