Book Description
... The purposes of this report are to describe (1) the hydrologic characteristics of the Quashnet River stream aquifer system and (2) the responses of the system to proposed ground water withdrawals simulated by use of a numerical model of ground water flow; these reponses to pumping are assessed in terms of drawdowns in the altitude of the water table, streamflow depletions, and sources of water to the river and the simulated supply well; in this report, the Quashnet river stream aquifer system is defined as that area extending approximately from the Mashpee River on the east to the Coonamessett River on the west and from Nantucket Sound to approximately 1 mile north of Johns Pond; this report is based on ground and surface water data collected during the study and compiled from engineers' reports and USGS ground and surface water data bases; physical characteristics of the Quashnet and Childs Rivers (streamflow, stream velocity, width and depth), surface altitude of Johns Pond, and hydraulic heads within the basin were measured from January 1990 through September 1991 ...
