The Neponset, Weymouth Fore, and Weymouth Back River basins occupy an area of 183 square miles in eastern Massachusetts south of Boston and Braintree, Brockton, Canton, Dedham, Dover, Foxborough, Hingham, Holbrook, Medfield, Milton, Norwood, Quincy, Randolph, Rockland, Sharon, Stoughton, Walpole, Westwood, and Weymouth.
Hydrologic data presented in this report were collected during an investigation of the water resources in the areas of these basins that are upstream from tide effect or heavy urbanization. This investigation was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission. The data are released in order to make available to the public basic hydrologic and related information that will facilitate the planning of water-resources development and will complement an interpretive report, "Hydrology and water resources of the Neoponset and Weymouth River basins, Massachusetts" (HA-484).
The well and boring data contained herein were selected from a larger group of data in order to minimize redundancy of information for intensely drilled areas. All of the data are on filed and available for inspection at the office of the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, Boston, Massachusetts.
