Coastal Plain Chloride Network
Chloride levels in groundwater are measured in selected wells on a 5‑year cycle to provide early warning of saltwater intrusion and to delineate the 250 mg/L line of equal chloride concentration within the principal aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain.
Water Levels in the Ten Major Confined Aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain
The Coastal Plain aquifers of New Jersey provide an important source of water for more than 3.5 million people. The USGS, in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, has been measuring water levels in the confined aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain every five years beginning in 1978. Persistent, regionally extensive cones of depression are present in Ocean and...
