“…Miller and Frederick (1969) discussed the precipitation regime of Long Island. Nakao and Erlichman (1978) and Donaldson and Koszalka (1983b) compiled water-table maps of Long Island, and Prince (1976) and Donaldson and Koszalka (1983a) compiled potentiometric-surface maps of the Magothy aquifer.…”

“…Recent maps of the potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer were compiled in 1975 by Prince (1976) and in 1981 by Donaldson and Koszalka (1983). Flow in the Magothy aquifer beneath the area studied is southsoutheastward.…”

“…Other potentiometric maps of the Lloyd aquifer were prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey's Long Island staff for the years 1947 (Lusczynski, 1952), 1971 (Kimmel, 1973(Kimmel, ), 1975 (Rich and others, 1975), and 1979 (Donaldson and Koszalka, 1983b). Maps of the potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer that were used in this study are as follows: 1972 (Koch and Koszalka, 1973); 1975 (Prince, 1976), and 1979 (Donaldson and Koszalka, 1983a). Specific stratigraphic problems were addressed by Perlmutter and Todd (1965), Sirkin (1974), and Perry and others (1975).…”

The Lloyd aquifer contains only about 9 percent of the water stored in Long Island's groundwater system but is the only source of potable water for several communities near the north and south shores. The Lloyd aquifer is virtually untapped throughout most of central Long Island because current legal restrictions permit its use only in coastal areas. The upper surface of the Lloyd aquifer ranges in depth from 100 feet below land surface on the north shore to more than 1,500 feet on the south shore. Aquifer thickness increases southward from 50 feet to about 500 feet. Transmissivity ranges from 1,500 to 19,000 feet squared per day. All recharge (35 to 40 million gallons per day) and nearly all discharge is through the overlying confining unit. Nearly all of the pumpage (approximately 20 million gallons per day) is in Queens and along the north and south shores of Nassau County.
