Hydrology of the unconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, Forked River and Cedar, Oyster, Mill, Westecunk, and Tuckerton Creek Basins and adjacent basins in the southern Ocean County area, New Jersey, 1998-99
Groundwater budget (1986-95)
Water use data (1999)
Land Surface System
P + Ras = Qdr + ET + Ws + Rns
Groundwater System
Rng + Rag + Ri = Wg + L + Qb
Qg = Qb - Ras + Ws
Ri = Rng - Rns
List of Budget Components (in inches per year)
- Precipitation (P) = 44.7
- Direct Runoff (Qdr) = 3.9
- Base Flow (Qb) = 15.9
- Evapotranspiration (ET) = 23.4
- Leakage (L) = 0.22
- Groundwater discharge (Qg) = 25.1
- Consumptive Water Use from surface-water withdraws (Ws) = 0.019
- Consumptive Water Use from unconfined groundwater withdraws (Wg) = 0.404
- Artificial recharge to the surface-water system (Ras) = 0.114
- Artificial recharge to the unconfined groundwater system (Rag) = 0.125
- Natural recharge to the aquifer (Rns) = 17.5
- Natural groundwater recharge to the aquifer (Rng) = 25.6
- Groundwater inflow (Ri) = 8.1
