This report presents, in tabular form, selected records of wells, test wells , borings, and important springs; measurements of stream discharge, specific conductance, and temperature at partial-record stations; chemical analyses of ground water and surface water; and a summary of municipal water sources and additional sources available. The data were collected from 1969 to 1971 in cooperation with the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission. (Woodard-USGS)
