The difference between the potentiometric surfaces of the Aquia aquifer of September 1982 and September 1995 in southern Maryland

January 1, 1996

A map showing the net change in the potentiometric surface of the Aquia aquifer in the Aquia Formation of Paleocene age in southern Maryland was based on water levels measured in 66 wells from September 1982 to September 1995 and shows that the decline of the potentiometric surface during the 13-year period was 20 to 30 feet in most of the area. The decline was more than 50 feet in the Lexington Park area and more than 60 feet at Solomons Island.
