Valley and Ridge aquifers
Detailed Description
The most important aquifers in the Valley and Ridge province are northeast- to east-trending carbonate rocks. Undifferentiated sedimentary-rock aquifers that consist mostly of sandstone and yield moderate volumes of water separate the bodies of carbonate rocks. Coal-bearing beds are prominanat in parts of Pennsylvania and in a local area of southeast Virginia.

Sandstone and carbonate-rock aquifers
In scattered places in the United States, carbonate rocks are interbedded with almost equal amounts of water-yielding sandstone. In most places where these two rock types are interbedded, the carbonate rocks yield much more water than the sandstone.
