Long Pond mapping survey

USGS conducted a mapping survey of Long Pond in Falmouth, Massachusetts, at the request of the Town to determine total water volume of the reservoir, as well as the volumes available depending on fluctuating elevations of the water surface. Long Pond is Falmouth’s primary source of drinking water. Understanding the dynamics of the reservoir, especially during periods of drought, is critical to ensure the Town of Falmouth can provide safe, potable drinking water to the community.
