Mullica River Surficial Aquifer Study
Science Center Objects
Hydrology of the unconfined aquifer system, Mullica River Basin, New Jersey, 1991-92
Groundwater budget (1982-91)
Water use data (1989)
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
