List of Sandstone Aquifers Completed
Sandstone aquifers are more widespread in the United States than those in all other kinds of consolidated rocks. Fractures, joints, and bedding planes can store and transmit large volumes of water.

Sandstone aquifers
Sandstone aquifers are more widespread than those in all other kinds of consolidated rocks. Groundwater movement in sandstone aquifers primarily is along bedding planes, but joints and fractures provide avenues for the vertical movement of water. Sandstone aquifers can be highly productive and provide large volumes of water. - Publications

Ground Water Atlas of the United States
PrefaceThe Ground Water Atlas of the United States presents a comprehensive summary of the Nation's ground-water resources and is a basic reference for the location, geography, geology, and hydrologic characteristics of the major aquifers in the Nation. The information was collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies during the course of many years of study. Results of the Regional AAuthors
