“…Results of ground-water-flow simulation are described, and ground-water-withdrawal data are presented, for aquifers in the Coastal Plain in reports on the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system (Luzier, 1980), the Farrington aquifer (Farlekas, 1979), the Englishtown aquifer system (Nichols, 1977), and the Wenonah-Mount Laurel aquifer (Nemickas, 1976). Zapecza and others (1987) reported ground-water-withdrawal data for the major aquifers in the Coastal Plain.…”

Withdrawals of ground water and surface water in New Jersey were compiled from monthly withdrawal data provided to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection by water users with pumping equipment capable of producing 100,000 gallons per day or more. In 1991, withdrawals in New Jersey totaled about 2,110 Mgal/d (million gallons per day)-576 Mgal/d of ground water and 1,534 Mgal/d of surface water. In 1992, withdrawals totaled about 2,090 Mgal/d 571 Mgal/d of ground water and 1,519 Mgal/d of surface water. During 1991-92, withdrawals for public supply averaged 1,099 Mgal/d and supplied 6.8 million residents of the State. Domestic water use averaged 639 Mgal/d, including groundwater withdrawals of 79 Mgal/d and water deliveries from public suppliers of 560 Mgal/d. Commercial water use averaged 227 Mgal/d, including withdrawals of 17 Mgal/d of ground water, 1 Mgal/d of surface water, and water deliveries from public suppliers of 209 Mgal/d. Withdrawals for irrigation averaged 123 Mgal/d, including 22 Mgal/d of ground water and 101 Mgal/d of surface water. Industrial water use in New Jersey averaged 342 Mgal/d during 1991-92, including groundwater withdrawals of 50 Mgal/d, surface-water withdrawals of 193 Mgal/d, and water deliveries from public suppliers of 99 Mgal/d. During 1991-92, average withdrawals for mining use in New Jersey were 33 Mgal/d, including 4 Mgal/d of ground water and 29 Mgal/d of surface water. Withdrawals for thermoelectric-power use averaged 532 Mgal/d, including groundwater withdrawals of 2 Mgal/d, surface-water withdrawals of 508 Mgal/d, and water deliveries from public suppliers of 22 Mgal/d.

Under the first set of conditions, further head reduction would cease over very within two years. Under the second set of conditions, the broad cone of ion would broaden and Heads would range from 60 to 160 feet below NGVD th declines after 1973 90 feet in some areas. The resultant would accelerate the movement of salty water toward centers.If a freshwater head barrier were constructed across a 5-mile in Gloucester, Camden, and Counties, the total rates of ection would range from about 56 cubic feet per second in year 1984 to about 95 cubic per second in year 2000. Barrier rates would be to about 20 of the water Document Analysis a. Descriptors
